The prosperous development of wireless communication and sensor technologies has attracted the attention of researchers from both computer and education fields. Various investigations have been made for applying the new technologies to education purposes, such that more active and adaptive learning activities can be conducted in the real world. Nowadays, ubiquitous learning (u-learning) has become a popular trend of education all over the world, and hence it is worth reviewing the potential issues concerning the use of u-computing technologies in education, which could be helpful to the researchers who are interested in the investigation of mobile and ubiquitous learning.

One of the challenges as well as opportunities for the success of wireless communication in the 21st century is the standardization that, in a simplified term, defines how specific technologies are used in a particular wireless communication system. Standardization goes beyond a technical decision made by engineers. This chapter first examines the history and the status of standardization in wireless communications in the world. Global cooperation and competition among different standards are then examined. Finally, the chapter analyzes ITU’s efforts on the 3G standardization that aim to bring harmony among the world’s wireless communication developers and providers.

The global need for water is increasing. Water must be used more economically in order to be sustainable. Water consumption per capita in Turkey is below the world regarding its geographical location. Manual reading water meters are inconvenient and time-consuming, they have low accuracy, they are very slow and resource wasting. Using wireless communication will mitigate these unwanted states. Consumers will be able to observe their water consumption in real time and be able to compare with the average water consumption in their district. With this system water pressure of whole pipes could be observed.

As the commercial implementations of 5G networks have been initiated in different regions of the world, the focus of the researchers is bending towards the next generation of wireless communication. This research study intends to investigate the requisites of the fast establishment of the theoretical and practical measures for sixth generation (6G) wireless communication. To this end, this paper first outlined the existing research works that have considered different aspects of 6G, and then based on this existing works, the future vision is established. Then, the 6G vision is based on four types of connectivity and is summarized as “Wherever you think, everything follows your heart.” To fill the gap between the market requirements after one decade and the limited capabilities of 5G, different specifications of 6G that make it an appropriate replacement are discussed. Furthermore, different candidate technologies that can potentially realize the 6G communication are studied, followed by discussion on different challenges in the realization and possible research directions to cope with these challenges. By exploring the vision of future, its specification, and key candidate technologies, this paper attempts to summarize the general 6G framework. In addition, with mentioned challenges in realization of 6G, the aim of this paper is to guide the researcher and attract their interest to consider them.

This chapter considers mobile e-commerce on mobile phones and in particular GSM mobile phones. It is aiming at clarifying the differences between e-commerce and mobile e-commerce. The powerful aspects of this new e-commerce form born with mobility are explained carefully. The chapter starts with a presentation of the generic business-to-consumer e-commerce followed by two typical examples of e-commerce on the World Wide Web. The mobile e-commerce is then described thoroughly. The fundamental differences with e-commerce are explained, and an ideal mobile commerce system is presented. The limitations in current wireless communication systems are clarified. The Wireless Application Protocol together with its impacts and limitations for mobile e-commerce are also considered. Different types of mobile phones will then be studied, and their limitations regarding security are shown. A solution providing adequate authentication and micro-payment, called Mobile ePay, is then presented with examples of operation. A mobile e-commerce receipt system enabling instantaneous delivery is described thoroughly. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future works.

As major areas in the world have been protected with surveillance information with the development of wireless communication technologies, underground mines are still hit by frequent accidents due to insufficient monitoring and sensing, which would be improved with implementation of Internet of Things (IOT). However, a low-power, high reliability wireless communication equipment integrated with personnel localization, underground gas monitoring and IOT functions has not been implemented to enable underground IOT. Having explored wireless technologies and underground communication technologies, we propose in the paper the design of a communication system incorporating wireless call, gas monitoring, personnel localization functions through the integration of ZigBee (IEEE802.15.4) and Ethernet. This system has been realized and tested under laboratory conditions. The system was accepted by China coal mines in principle for application in their coal mine production line.
