3. . Current communication systems are single input single output (SISO) systems - coverage is limited (eg. Hospital office ) - such systems cannot afford to exploit diversity. MAR is a wireless multi-homed device that can be placed in moving vehicles (e.g. car, bus, train) to enable high-speed data access. improve wireless system performance Introduction

5. .Provide a set of local interfaces.Provide a set of local interfaces 。.Local interfaces provide access to local mobile users 。.They include wireless technologies (eg. Ethernet bluetooth 802.11) 。.Accommodate a variety of wide-area wireless technologies (eg. GRPS UMTS CDMA ) 。 MAR Adaptation Layer

8. .Provide a DHCP server 。.Mobile device are configured to use MAR as their default router and DNS server 。 MAR Adaptation Layer BACK

9. . Can aggregate the available bandwidth across all wireless interfaces 。. Offered a larger ， more stable pipe to end users 。. striping techniques 。 - different packets belonging to the same TCP connection can end up in different interfaces 。striping techniques MAR Session Protocol

10. .MAR session API that can also accommodate a wide-range of session scheduling policies to load balance packets / connection among different interfaces 。.Policies - round robin 。 - least loaded interface 。 - weighted 。 MAR Session Protocol

11. . MAR monitors the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and Bit Error Rate (BER) values and throughput of each interfaces 。 - standard Hayes AT commands - relies on past throughput information. Determine the weight of the load balance 。 - Interface busier, fewer TCP connection 。. Blackout / active interfaces 。. keeps monitoring 。standard Hayes AT commands MAR Session Protocol BACK

12. MAR Proxy Services. Option. Optimizations - striping protocol - application-level - compress data - proxy cache

13. . Technology diversity - two wireless devices that are operating using two different communication technologies 。 - CDMA. spread scheme - GPRS. time division multiple access scheme - data performance between the two interfaces in the MAR devices Exploiting network diversity

14. . Network diversity - different wireless devices ( mobile phone ) - using the same technology (GPRS) - connected to different operator ’ s network(opt1,opt2) Exploiting network diversity

15. . Channel diversity - A base station of a cellular network simultaneously assigns different channels to multiple devices - connected to the network of the same wireless cellular operator (opt1) Exploiting network diversity

31. GSM. Circuit-Switching.. 分頻 / 分時 (FDMA/TDMA) 的混合系統. 以 GSM900 系統為例，使用的頻率 Downlink890 ～ 915MHz ， Uplink935 ～ 960MHz 。. 每個頻段先利用分頻多工 (FDMA) 的方式，切割成許多的載波 (Carrier Frequency) ，相鄰的兩載波頻率之間的間隔為 200KHz 。對 於每個不同的載波頻率，又再透過分時多工 (TDMA) 的方式，將時 間切割成八個時槽 (Time Slot) ，每個時槽可以用來傳送一個用戶的 語音訊號. 最高只能以 9.6Kbps 的傳輸率來傳送資料，如果加上資料壓縮的功 能，最高也只能達到 14.4Kbps 。

32. GPRS (General packet radio service). Packet witch 技術. 四種編碼模式，提供不同的錯誤保護 (Error Protection) 能力. 每個時槽可提供的數據傳輸率 - CS-1(9.05Kbps) 。 - CS-2(13.4Kbps) 。 - CS-3(15.6Kbps) 。 - CS-4(21.4Kbps) 。 - 其中 CS-1 的保護最嚴密， CS-4 則完全未加任何保護。. 瞬間最大可使用八個時槽，所以 GPRS 的傳輸率號稱可高達 171.2Kbps(21.4Kbps x 8) 。
