There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Cooperative Network Architecture For Next Generation Technologies

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to introduce a backward compatible Cooperative Multipath Communication architecture that improves spectrum efficiency while maintaining flexible and resilient connectivity. In the architecture, the nodes cooperate to harvest any available bandwidth and remain connected by dynamically exploring fast and reliable links. The Internet is expanding, and the number of individuals connected is rapidly increasing. The 5G wireless technology promises several Gbps, massive connectivity with very low latency. 5G does not address the deficiencies of the conventional network architecture in routing, network addressing, multipath communication and sequencing.
