Abstract :
Mobile computing environments that seek to support communication-intensive applications need to provide sustained end-to-end networking resources to static and mobile flows in the presence of scarce and variable wireless bandwidth, bursty wireless channel error, and user mobility. In order to achieve this goal, we present the TIMELY adaptive resource management architecture and algorithms for resource reservation, advance reservation, and resource adaptation in mobile computing environments. A key feature of our approach is the coordination of adaptation between the different layers of the network in order to solve the problems introduced by scarce and dynamic network resources
