Mobile computing environments that seek to support communication-intensive applications need to provide sustained end-to-end networking resources to static and mobile ows 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 network layer and end-to-end adaptation in mobile computing environments. The key novelty of our approach is the coordination of adaptation between the di erent layers of the network in order to solve the problems introduced by scarce and dynamic network resources.
In REF , Bharghavan et al. present the TIMELY adaptive resource management architecture and algorithms for resource reservation and adaptation in mobile computing environments.
