Abstract
The recent emergence of a whole plethora of new wireless technologies, such as IEEE802.15, IEEE802.11, and UMTS, etc, has exposed the limitations of mobility solutions in the next generation Internet. Current mobility management systems are operator specific, centralized, and focused on single link technology. A rethink of how to exploit context awareness, lead by the emergence of sensor networks and pervasive computing, is explored. This paper suggests a roaming technique taking pervasiveness and self-awareness into consideration, by first, moving the intelligence to the mobile terminals. The mobile devices should look themselves for the most suitable wireless network. We also propose to organize the wireless mesh networks in a context-aware peer-to-peer network.
This work has been supported by the EuroNGI network of excellence (EU-IST -507613), with special funding for the project “A Contribution Towards Always Best Connected (ACT-ABC)”.
