The signals provided to and received from the transmitter 304 and the receiver 306, respectively, may include signaling information/data in accordance with air interface standards of applicable wireless systems. In this regard, the client device 104 may be capable of operating with one or more air interface standards, communication protocols, modulation types, and access types. More particularly, the client device 104 may operate in accordance with any of a number of wireless communication standards and protocols, such as those described above with regard to the computing platform 200. In a particular embodiment, the client device 104 may operate in accordance with multiple wireless communication standards and protocols, such as UMTS, CDMA2000, 1×RTT, WCDMA, GSM, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, LTE, E-UTRAN, EVDO, HSPA, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, WiMAX, UWB, IR, NFC, Bluetooth, USB, and/or the like. Similarly, the client device 104 may operate in accordance with multiple wired communication standards and protocols, such as those described above with regard to the computing platform 200 via a network interface 320.
Via these communication standards and protocols, the client device 104 may communicate with a computing platform 200 using concepts such as Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency Signaling (DTMF), and/or Subscriber Identity Module Dialer (SIM dialer). The client device 104 may also download changes, add-ons, and updates, for instance, to its firmware, software (e.g., including executable instructions, applications, program modules), and operating system.
