Recent technological developments in mobile networks arena have led manufacturers to incorporate multiple radio network interfaces in modern day mobile terminals. On the other hand, the availability of a diverse range of access networks makes it possible for mobile terminals to connect to several types of networks simultaneously. In such a scenario, a mobile terminal can increase its utility by optimizing...
We consider a system of multi-homed mobile terminals with the ability to associate each of its running application flows to a specific network cell via terminal's network radio interfaces. These terminals compete for common network resources in order to optimise its proper utility value. We describe the system as a potential evolutionary game and we show that by imposing an appropriate cost upon mobile...
Current mobile terminals are equipped with several network interfaces, which may be of different access technologies, both wireless and cellular. With multi-homed terminals, it becomes possible to use simultaneously the various interfaces - and not only to handoff from one to another. Furthermore, it becomes possible to associate the suitable interface to each application according to its requirements...
We designed the GISP (generic signaling service protocol) protocol to contribute to the effort of the NSIS (next steps in signaling) IETF working group in defining a generic IP signaling protocol. In this paper, we summarize the GISP characteristics and focus on its performance results. In particular, a comparison with the GIST (general Internet signaling transport) protocol under development by the...
Once a mobile node is equipped with multiple interfaces, it is possible to select dynamically the best interface according to different attributes such as the interface characteristics, user preferences, application preferences, ... In this paper, we propose the shortest distance to positive ideal attribute (SiPiA) algorithm to help terminal to dynamically select the best interface while avoiding...
In this paper, we propose an extension to the multiple care-of address registration solution allowing mobile nodes to communicate simultaneously on their various interfaces. This extension defines the M bit (multihoming bit) which is inserted in the router solicitation and router advertisement messages allowing a multi-interface mobile node to exploit host multihoming advantages.
