Abstract: With the
recent advances of telecommunications, e-Commerce has evolved into m-Commerce
taking advantages of the mobility obtained by these technologies. Due to
the explosive growth of mobile content transactions and wireless communications
merging towards IP networks, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee has grown
to be a necessity for m-commerce applications. The ubiquity of these content
transactions is subject to the provided QoS parameters of the emerging wireless
technologies. This paper underscores the QoS requirements of these m-commerce
applications and to what extent new wireless technologies meet these requirements.
In addition, it proposes a framework for QoS-aware m-commerce which facilitates
service aggregation, dynamic pricing, and Internet accounting.
