In this paper we present our vision on future uses of the Media Independence paradigm developed within the IEEE 802.21. We argue that this specification is an excellent starting point for future applications that require the handling of heterogeneous technologies. The current IEEE 802.21 standard facilitates media independent handovers by providing higher layer mobility management functions with common...
The increasing popularity of multi-hop wireless mesh networks, augmented with specific mechanisms required to support carrier-grade services, makes them an attractive alternative to classical backhaul solutions for network operators. However, current mesh deployments are typically small-sized, and, under real-time service requirements, it is yet unclear if they could scale to realistic network sizes...
Internet traffic has increased steeply in recent years, due in great part to social platforms and peer-to-peer networks. In addition, users' wireless access represents an ever-growing portion of such demand, thus posing a paradigm shift in the flow of Internet information, for which most deployed architectures are not prepared for.
In recent years, IPTV has received an increasing amount of interest from the industry, commercial providers and the research community, alike. In this context, standardization bodies, such as ETSI and ITU-T, are specifying the architecture of IPTV systems based on IP multicast. An interesting alternative to support the IPTV service delivery relies on the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) paradigm to distribute and...
A lot of attention has been given to multihop wireless networks lately, but further research is needed. This attention has motivated an increase in the number of 802.11-based deployments, both indoor and outdoor. These testbeds are used to run measurements in order to analyze and understand the limitation and differences between analytical or simulation-based figures and the results from real-life...
A lot of attention has been given to multihop wireless networks lately, but further research—in particular, through experimentation—is needed. This attention has motivated an increase in the number of 802.11-based deployments, both indoor and outdoor. These testbeds, which require a significant amount of resources during both deployment and maintenance, are used to run measurements in order to analyze...
Envisioning a future where mobile terminals equipped with one or more network devices are able to roam across wireless or wired networks, in a diverse macro and micro wireless cells environment, requires the development of enhanced methods to control IP-based mobility. These methods should consider traditional terminal mobility (mainly due to user movement) as well as mobility across heterogeneous...
