COBA: Concurrent Bandwidth Aggregation - A Case Study in Parallel Wireless Communications

Parallel Wireless Communications area of research that enables mobile clients to multiple wireless networks concurrently. This concurrent bandwidth aggregation techniques t wireless communications on mobile devic aggregation can be performed using wireless device or cooperatively across devices within w of each other.. The aggregation can be a application-layer, transport layer like Multi layers below IP such as the RLC layer. Th compared. In general, aggregation on the lower the client device and easier to adapt to the var loading conditions. However, lower layer aggreg changes to wireless access stratum infrastruct above the IP layer is simpler to implement. A fe MultipathTCP aggregation over multiple WWA The aggregation scheme on the RLC layer in e also presented, including protocol design a evaluation.
