Current cellular technologies fail to provide services with data rates that are anywhere close to the speeds available over typical Wireless LANs (WLANs). Large-scale deployments of WLANs have the potential to provide ubiquitous high data rate coverage, but the cost of deployment and management of a large number of WLAN access-points for providing full coverage is prohibitive. On the other hand, scattered deployments of WLAN hotspots are useful but they fail to provide any level of service assurance to mobile users.This project aims at developing the foundations for a system that will provide assured data services over a wide-area to data-intensive applications for mobile users using an economically scalable infrastructure consisting of heterogeneous technologies, and to demonstrate it with a prototype implementation. The project involves the following research objectives: 1) to develop solutions for hotspot deployment that enable the best possible services for mobile users through a limited number of hotspots; and, 2) to design solutions for meeting the needs of delay tolerant applications using dynamic resource control.The proposed research is transformative as it will build the foundations for bringing high-speed data services to mobile users through scattered hotspots and it has the potential to open up new research avenues along the lines of assured but interruptible services. A number of applications covering the entertainment, industrial and commercial sectors will get impacted by this research. Special efforts will be made to recruit women and minority students for this project.

当前的蜂窝技术未能提供服务速率，这些数据速率接近典型的无线LAN（WLAN）可用速度。 WLAN的大规模部署有可能提供无处不在的高数据速率覆盖范围，但是部署和管理大量WLAN访问点的成本可提供全面覆盖。 另一方面，WLAN热点的分散部署很有用，但他们无法为移动用户提供任何水平的服务保证。本项目的目的是为一个系统开发基础，该系统将在数据密集型应用程序上为移动用户提供可靠的数据服务，以使用经济上可扩展的基础结构使用杂物技术来实施，并实现了一个蛋白质，并且可以用来证明具有杂物性的基础结构。 该项目涉及以下研究目标：1）开发用于热点部署的解决方案，通过有限数量的热点为移动用户提供最佳服务；以及2）设计解决方案，以满足使用动态资源控制的延迟耐受性应用的需求。拟议的研究具有变革性，因为它将通过散布的热点为移动用户提供高速数据服务的基础，并有可能沿着良好但可中断的服务开放新的研究道路。 这项研究将受到许多涵盖娱乐，工业和商业领域的应用程序。 将为该项目招募妇女和少数民族学生做出特别的努力。
