Marriage of wired and wireless networks to build tomorrow's Internet

Abstract

Summary form only given. Tomorrow's Internet will neither be completely wired nor be completely wireless. Our proposed solution is the interim of the wired and wireless network, where roaming nodes are connected back to the wired media when they reach a wired site. The idea is to utilize the large bandwidth infrastructure available over the wired backbone network to connect all static nodes and at the same time use the wireless media for only those nodes which are in transition from one wired site to another.
