Optimizing wireless network protocols using real-time predictive propagation modeling

A common feature of all wireless mobile data networks is the dynamic nature of the propagation environment. Our work introduces a new level of intelligence into wireless networks by creating a real-time prediction model that runs independently on each mobile node. Such a prediction can assist the routing protocol in making hand-offs or in choosing the best route to a destination, taking into account future RF propagation conditions.
