An Ethernet Bonding inspired architecture for commercial multi-interface Ad-Hoc networks
Christian Köbel, Walter Baluja García, Joachim Habermann · 2012
Wireless Ad-Hoc networks offer potential for a wide range of commercial applications. Unfortunately, negative aspects, like low throughput or high packet loss under varying link conditions may threaten the usability for commercial scenarios. Using multiple channels to form interface bundles between neighboring nodes may significantly improve such flaws. In this work, a set of load balancing modes, to manage packet scheduling within each bundle is defined and investigated. Our goal is to improve both reliability and performance of commercially used ad-hoc networks.
