Abstract:
This article presents a cross layer aware bandwidth aggregation and network condition determination of a fixed computing system dynamically. The proposed system transmits and receives data simultaneously through multiple physical interfaces, also determines the condition of communication channel/network associated with those physical interfaces while performing the bandwidth aggregation. This proposed cross layer system enhances the download and upload data transmission rates of the applications. Its core functional block resides in between the data link/MAC (medium access control) and network layer and encapsulates the existing multiple physical interfaces. Aggregation of bandwidth and determination of network condition by using the proposed cross layer system is presented with case study and experimental results in detail along with future research scope here.
