Abstract:
We can access Internet by carrying a portable computer and using the wireless communication. The wireless network with PHS (Personal Handy phone System) and portable cellular telephone has only rates of tens of Kbps to a few Mbps. Compared with the cable network, the transfer rate cannot generally satisfy a highly developed communication services such as large file transfer and real-time communications. This paper proposes a protocol, SHAKE, for sharing multiple paths in cluster type network that is a kind of LAN in which some mobile hosts temporarily connect mutually. SHAKE provides the functions for composing cluster type network, and dispersing traffic efficiently by measuring transfer rate and round-trip time. As a mobile host has only low transfer capacity in individual to communicate with outside, if whole capacities of other hosts which compose cluster type network are shared, we can get larger transfer capacity and satisfy the required communication services
