“…If MPTCP were ubiquitous, and IPv6 were used so NAT traversal were not an issue 1 , then the only requirement for a proxy would be to cope with simultaneous move for peer-to-peer connections. For the foreseeable future though, MPTCP proxies will be of importance.…”

Host mobility has traditionally been solved at the network layer, but even though Mobile IP has been standardised for 15 years, it hasn't been supported by operators. IP's double role as a location identifier and communication endpoint identifier brings a number of functional and performance problems.We argue that the best place to handle mobility is at the transport layer. While this is not a new argument, we believe that the emerging standard of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) can be used to solve many issues related to mobility. MPTCP naturally implements make-before-break, can be incrementally deployed, is backwards compatible with standard TCP, and could even ease incremental adoption of IPv6.Using simulations and indoor experiments with WiFi and 3G, we show that MPTCP gives better throughput, achieves smoother handoffs, and can be tuned to lower energy consumption.

“…While the design goals of FleetNet, DHARMA, PCMP, and OCMP are somewhat similar to those of CHIANTI, comprehensive considerations of market and deployment constraints have not received much attention before, with two exceptions: The Drive-thru Internet project [26] that uses PCMP explicitly discussed the issue of opportunistic access to (commercial) WLAN hot-spots and the need for portal-based authentication [29]; and the KioskNet project [17] that uses OCMP has demonstrated real-world deployment for Internet kiosks in India. KioskNet has a different target scenario and can thus pursue a greenfield deployment.…”

The quality of Internet access for mobile users may suffer from highly variable communication characteristics (packet loss, delay, throughput) and from temporary disconnections. The former occur as a result of changing radio properties, handovers, or variable system load, the latter whenever wireless coverage is insufficient. While quite some research has tackled improving radio coverage to keep users always best connected and numerous approaches pursue improving wireless performance and robustness, these often assume a greenfield deployment or a tight integration with operators. We present the mobility support system architecture developed in the CHIANTI project. While building on related work in various technical respects, the CHIANTI architecture is specifically designed to be instantly and incrementally deployable in today's Internet landscape, considering real-world legal and deployment constraints, and supports roles of different (independent) players. We also report on our proof-of-concept implementation.

“…The CABERNET [7] and Infostations 22 [28] projects propose architectures similar to Drive-Thru In- 23 ternet. Motivated by these works, we expect that the provi- 24 sion of Internet connectivity via road side infrastructure will 25 be a flourishing market in the next future attracting Internet 26 providers which may possibly compete among themselves. 27 This competition may have a valuable impact on customers 28 welfare, as well as influence the quality and cost of all afore- 29 mentioned features about road safety.…”

Road-side units operators in competition: A game-theoretical approach

2015

a b s t r a c tWe study the interactions among Internet providers in vehicular networks which offer access to commuters via road side units (RSUs). Namely, we propose a game-theoretical framework to model the competition on prices between vehicular Internet providers to capture the largest amount of users, thus selfishly maximizing the revenues. The equilibria of the aforementioned game are characterized under different mobile traffic conditions, RSU capabilities and users requirements and expectations. In particular, we also consider in the analysis the case where mobile users modify the price they accept to pay for the access as the likeliness of finding an access solution decreases.Our game-theoretical analysis gives insights on the outcomes of the competition between vehicular Internet providers, further highlighting some counter-intuitive behaviors; as an example, comparing with the case when users have constant price valuation over time, having users inclined to increasing their "acceptable" price may force vehicle Internet providers to charge lower prices due to competition.
