碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊學院資訊學程 === 100 === In recent years, lots of powerful mobile computing devices had been introduced. Many people do own more than one mobile device. They use these devices to access Internet services such as email, instant message, watching movices or listening music, updating social network status and downloading mobile applications. The bandwidth requirements are much more than the evolution of wireless technology can provide. Network traffic congestion is now a serious problem for carriers, especially in the populated areas during peak usage times. The purpose of this study is to find a way to offload the traffic from mobile networks.We make use of the properties of multi-homed networks to design the Intelligent PortableHotspot System (IPHS). This is a network management frameowork for heterogeneous network which provides network aware perception, management and hotspot authentication. In our study, we integrated heterogeneous network interfaces to extend the accessibility of the network services. Based on the WiFi hotspot infrastructure with low-cost wireless broadband service, the experimental results show that our system can offload the traffic automatically in the densely populated areas.
