Abstract
Multiaccess wireless networks have emerged as an active
research field but, until now, previous work has mainly
centered on integrating wireless LANs with cellular
networks. With mobile WiMAX deployments increasing, many
expect fierce competition between 3GPP and WiMAX Forum
mobile broadband technologies. We take a different
approach in this paper and study cooperative multiaccess
in an urban scenario, where mobile WiMAX and 3G cellular
are used in a complementary manner to deliver mobile
video services. We position our work with respect to a
novel information-centric approach in networking and
evaluate through simulation the benefits arising from
better management of multiaccess device capabilities in
WMAN multimedia content distribution. In particular for
the scenario we examine, we find that tapping on unused
resources from different WMANs allows for significant
increase in service delivery rates. Our results show that
there is a lot to be gained by following a cooperative,
rather than an antagonistic approach. (25 refs.)
