Abstract :
The mobile Internet is built upon a number of different wireless access networks with widely varying features in terms of coverage area, bandwidth, packet loss, and delay. To move across these different networks smoothly, issues associated with the changing features need to be addressed. In this paper, a path selection method for the coverage overlap area is proposed in which the mobile host actively measures the round trip time (RTT) and bottleneck bandwidth for each path and a path is selected based on four rules.
