IP packet distribution on wireless access route combining IEEE802.11/802.16 links for improvement of application performance
Pages 15 - 23
Abstract
The expansion and diversification of wireless communication are proceeding rapidly with the diffusion of cellular phones, WiFi and WiMAX. However, concern is increasing that the growth of wireless systems will exhaust finite wireless resources. Cognitive radio has been proposed as a solution to this problem. Cognitive radio aims to optimize the utilization of diverse wireless resources. Furthermore, AIPN and NGN investigate the network architecture that accommodates diverse communication media. Therefore, future wireless access networks will be composed of diverse wireless systems. Also, application diversifies, then the access networks need provide simultaneously low delay and high throughput to diverse applications. In this paper, exploiting wireless media diversity, we propose IP packet distribution on a wireless access route that combines IEEE802.11/802.16 wireless links for the improvement of application performance. The proposed method decreases application delay, and simultaneously increases application throughput, reducing out-of-order packets caused by distributing packets to multiple links.
