Handheld Routers: Intelligent Bandwidth Aggregation for Mobile Collaborative Communities
Overview Multi-homed, mobile wireless computing and communication devices can spontaneously form communities to logically combine and share the bandwidth of each other's wide-area communication links using inverse multiplexing. But membership in such a community can be highly dynamic, as devices and their associated WAN links randomly join and leave the community. This white paper identifies the issues and tradeoffs faced in designing a decentralized inverse multiplexing system in this challenging setting, and determine precisely how heterogeneous WAN links should be characterized, and when they should be added to, or deleted from, the shared pool. It then proposes methods of choosing the appropriate channels on which to assign newly-arriving application flows.
