Abstract

The Personal Router Project explores the technical challenges associated with creating open interfaces to wireless services. Our project enables users to dynamically and automatically choose between wireless services based upon requirements and prices. Our goals are (1) to create an open, competitive market in which small and large providers may easily offer customized wireless services and (2) provide users with convenient access to these services through a small personal router. Our poster illustrates our system architecture and presents a selection of the research problems we are pursuing.
A personal router is a small, portable hardware platform that provides wireless network connectivity for users' communication requirements. The personal router negotiates services with wireless providers and continuously selects the most appropriate as applications and user requirements change. Service selection is …
