Green symbiotic heterogeneous networks

This paper proposes a symbiotic and distributed communication paradigm for heterogeneous networks. The green and adaptive approach entails the simultaneous use of multiple communication interfaces, enabling efficient resource utilization. The judiciously designed architecture allows multiple users to access multiple mediums concomitantly, for both uplink and downlink, via virtualized communication ports and Internet Protocol (IP) schematic. Principal theoretic feasibility of the hypothesis is established by the linear increase in communication ca-pacity, with minimal energy requirement. Promising simulation and experimental results of a static scenario are shown, User Equipment's (UEs) connecting to multiple Communication Mediums (CMs).
