Adaptive binding for wireless networking: Design and implementation

While more and more wireless devices are phased in, binding relationship among them may become involved as wireless devices often operate in a self-organizing fashion. Though convenient, self-organization might fall short of user´s expectation of flexibility sometime, leaving the user less room for binding adjustment. As a remedy, we propose a software-hardware codesign and implementation that enable the user to adapt network operations to certain needs anytime without foreknowledge of low-level details. Binding manipulation is done straightway with simple mouse clicking and dragging on icons on our graphical user interface. This study demonstrates a practical platform over which to inspire home automation or traffic management applications.
