Web browsing over multiple heterogeneous challenged networks

Published: 23 September 2011 Publication History

Abstract

The authors previously proposed Integrating Multi-Path Data Transfer (IMPDT) that enables an efficient transfer of a large-sized data by integrating multiple heterogeneous wireless access networks, when they are concurrently available but none of them has sufficient performance for a requested task. An important feature is to transmit the control information separately from the transmission of data, where they are flexibly transferred on different types of communication media (network paths) in different ways instead of simple aggregation. In the present work, we develop a prototype of web browsing system that can access web pages over multiple heterogeneous challenged networks by integrating the HTTP and our IMPDT scheme. This is an attempt at extending our scheme from non-interactive bulk transfer to interactive applications, which suggests a potentially wide applicability of our proposed concept.
