4.1 Overview

Cellulardatatransmissionisanincreasinglyattractivemechanism forcommunication withremote,non‐permanent

or mobile devices. Being able to collect and distribute data virtually anywhere without requiring the limitation of

working within specific fixed linenetworks is  a powerfulforcefor efficiency and reliability.However, the fact that

cellular datais metered means that the frequency of transmission andamountof data sent in each exchangecan

havesignificantcostandperformanceimpact.



Inordertounderstandthisimpact,letusstartwithafairlytypicalexample,wherethereisadeviceinthefieldand

anapplicationonaserveratacentralsitelocationthatcollectsinformationfromthatdevice.



Ingeneral,thepurposeofcommunicationwiththedevicewillbeforoneoftworeasons:

•Monitoring‐Statusmonitoringdata,suchasthelevelortemperatureofastoragetank,thevelocityandpressure

ofapipeline,theconditionofacontrollerorthestatusofaregister.

•Transactiondata–Discreteeventdata,suchascashorcredittransactions,PBXcallrecordsormission‐criticaland

safetyrelatedalarms.

Status monitoring data is often “polled.” The application sends out periodic queries and gets responses to those

queries.Theapplicationcanusuallyretryifitdoesnotgetananswer,anddeterminethataproblemexistsifitdoes

notgetaresponseafteracertainamountofretries.

Discreteeventdataisusually“unsolicited.” Theapplicationdoesnotexpecttogetinformationonanyregularbasis,

andthereforethefailuretohearfromthedeviceisthenormalcase(thoughsomesortof“alliswell”messagemay

besentatalongerinterval).

Mostapplicationswilllikelyinvolveoneorbothofthesemethods anddataistransmittedinTCPorUDPpackets.
