MASCA: MAnagement of simultaneous connectivity for applications

Abstract

Nowadays, wireless technologies and mobile communication networks have been widely used in many public places due to the greater flexibility, reduced wiring cost and improved efficiency when compared to wired alternatives. Particularly, the real time wireless technologies allow users to collect and transmit data in a timely manner and also draw a good attention of them. This transmission does not only involves the web data, but also control messages. Also, it has a high impact on the traditional wireless and mobile communication networks. Thus, one of the most challenge in this research area is the designing of an efficient and robust mobility management. This work aims at developing an application that will manage connections made by mobile devices, providing the user with the ability to map their connections for each application, enabling the simultaneous use of more than one network interface; therefore our solution seeks to increase the flow of data user. Our proposal uses smartphones for the creation of application development, which was developed for Android platforms, in order to contribute to the open source community.
