Mobile Network Providers and Technologies

There are several networks and technologies that enables communication between mobile devices and the supporting devices. The following are the forever and widely used most influential standards and technologies:

                                                    
1) GSM   

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Connection which is most widely used standard for mobile phone in the world. The promoter of  ' GM's Association ', estimates that 82% of the Global Mobile Market uses this standard.
In more than 200 countries and territories over 2 billion people uses GSM Phone. The prominent advantage of GSM systems to customer have been the better voice quality and low cot alternatives to making calls for eg- Short Message Service(SMS). One of the advantage for network operators is the ease of getting equipment from any that implement the standard.
GSM users also gets the availability of GPRS ( General Packeting Data Service) mobile data service. GPRS allows the user to use mobile internet and related data service without the access to 3G Network.

2) 3G    
After 2G, 3G ha now come which is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology. It is based on the International Tellecommunicatio Union (ITU) part of standards under the International Telecommunication IMT-2000 programme. Due to such advanced technology like 3D-Tech the network operators can offer users a wide range of advanced service while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectrum. These services include wide area wireless voice telephony and broadband wireless data transmission.


3) WIRELESS NETWORK (BLUETOOTH/WI-FI)
Due to emerging new trends and technology where mobile phones have become a cup of tea of almost everyone, mobile phones support several technologies at once not only in the respect to the communication between the handset and carrier network but also wireless networking such as Bluetooth (Short-range) or Wi-Fi (Medium-range).
Several areas have been established in retail areas where consumer's handset can receive promotional information  (In stores like Globus, Westside)or download music files via Bluetooth Connection.

4) SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) is the most commonly used protocol for text messaging between two or more mobile phones. SMS is a multi-billion dollar industry, which is available on a wide range of networks and performs very well.

5) MMS

MMS stands for Multimedia Message Service. It's use is for sending message with multimedia content such as image, audio, and video). Marketing messages sent via MMS generally becomes more effective which leads to higher brand recall than a normal SMS sent but the major limitation of MMS is that not all phones and networks support MMS consistencies, leading to patching option.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
