Abstract
Any user in Ubiquitous environments have to be able to access networks in anywhere and anytime. Thus interests and researches are increasing. In this paper, we propose an interface selection scheme that adaptively utilizes a proper interface, as the wireless channel condition changes, instead of utilizing only one interface while the node is in move. The proposed scheme can determine which interface would be the most proper one by measuring data rate, packet error rate (PER), and end-to-end delay of each interface. From the simulation results, it is verified that the proposed scheme is able to enhance packet transmission about 20% better.
