Gateway Discovery and Selection in Mobile Hotspots

Gaining IP connectivity in mobile hotspots (e.g. public transport vehicles) through on-board local area networks and mobile gateways has recently attracted strong commercial and research interests. In this paper we propose a multi-dimensional protocol to support the process of gateway discovery in mobile hotspots, and to help in selecting the best path able to satisfy the user’s requirements and to guarantee a target end-to-end service quality. Our proposal is based on highly popular and almost standard protocols, such as SDPng for session description and AODV for route
