Abstract :
This paper describes an approach for computing in ubiquitous computing environment. In a classical mobile computing environment, several data such as audio, video, text etc. are processed centrally within the mobile computing device. This centralized computing paradigm needs a dedicated processing units like signal processor, CPU etc. which occupy most of the area inside the chip and also consume significant amount of power. To scale down the problem of size and power consumption, the idea that we propose is the decentralized distributed computing environment. It consists of several distributed computing devices which are located in a pico cell. These devices do the computation like signal processing and deliver their results to either what we call a small UbiComp device (UCD) that is carried by the user or to the network. The UCD itself consists of some minor but important computation units to deliver the good QoS.
