Abstract:
We believe that virtually all traffic will soon be packet based using IP. Traffic to small end-user devices, often mobile, is expected to be the most explosive market of all. The use of these devices is expected to grow at an even higher rate than the present Internet traffic. We are on the verge of the “post PC era”, and the PCC research program is well positioned with respect to this trend. So what are the problems? One of them is the marriage between IP and wireless networks with fading channels. IP is designed for fixed networks of high quality (low bit error rate) and a large available bandwidth. Unfortunately, the quality of wireless networks for mobile users is often severely degraded due to fading and interference. Moreover, they are severely bandwidth limited 1. Therefore IP, as we know it today, does not work properly.
