Towards context aware adaptation in wireless networks

Next generation ubiquitous computing will comprise of context aware adaptive applications and protocols. There is a need of a generic architecture to cater for the adaptation requirements of increasingly demanding real-time applications and increasing dynamic wireless networks. This paper discusses the adaptive approach supported by CA3RM-Com architecture. CA3RM-Com is the context aware architecture proposed for real-time communication in wireless networks. It addresses the context representation, context acquisition, context exchange, and context management. Specific details of the architecture and referring adaptations that CA3RM-Com can support are discussed. Moreover the extended simulation results of adaptive multi-homed Mobile IP are presented in this paper.
