Abstract :
MOPED (MObile grouPEd Device) is a network model that treats a user´s set of personal devices as a single, virtual device. The nodes of the MOPED dynamically aggregate available communication resources to provide the user with the best possible network service. We demonstrate MOPED´s resource management capability with a short series of experiments that show how the MOPED paradigm enables effective group mobility.
