Abstract

Location dependent benchmarking with mobility behavior is a necessary step in the evolution of improvements of wireless and computing technology. The components needed for a mobile computing benchmark include specifications for data, queries, mobile unit behavior and execution guidelines. One of the most unique types of queries present in the mobile computing environment is a location dependent query where its result depends on the issue location. In this paper we describe the main features of a location dependent benchmark including the execution guidelines. While targeted to location dependent applications, it contains more general queries as well. As such, it can be viewed as the first benchmark targeted to the general mobile computing environment.
