Bandwidth fuelling for network mobility
E. Perera, Henrik Petander, Aruna Prasad Seneviratne · 2006
The deployment of mobile networks in automobiles, trains, ships, planes buses etc. would undoubtedly change the way we travel. More and more people would be inclined towards taking public transportation systems if they would get the opportunity to utilize their commuting time in a constructive manner. In order for on board Internet connectivity to be appealing for the public the cost and the performance of the service should be reasonable. However providing continuous high-performance service over wireless networks at a reasonable cost is still a challenge. Use of caching allows more efficient usage of the potentially scarce bandwidth of the wireless resources. In this paper we utilize the idea of caching and present a bandwidth fueling architecture for network mobility. We analyze the feasibility of the architecture by measuring the performance of our prototype implementation
