Contract Type FiledDecember 14th, 2007Abstract— In a wireless network, mobile nodes (MNs) repeat- edly perform tasks such as layer 2 (L2) handoff, layer 3 (L3) handoff and authentication. These tasks are critical, particularly for real-time applications such as VoIP. We propose a novel approach, namely Cooperative Roaming (CR), in which MNs can collaborate with each other and share useful information about the network in which they move.
