Multiprotocol communication for mobile devices

Mobile devices like PDAs or mobile phones have become widespread. Similarly network functionality like GSM, Bluetooth or WLAN has become a standard. Nevertheless, not many applications take mobility into account. An application and its communication component are tightly coupled and the applications assume that network behaviour does not change. Here in this paper we propose a new lightweight architecture consisting of a small foot-print core layer and a modularised pluggable infrastructure. The architecture presented in this paper is suitable for mobile devices and extensible to make use of abstractions to conquer heterogeneity in mobile devices. The architecture also extends connectivity of devices to access remote applications. Multiple device interfaces can be used in the same session to extend the connectivity range.
