Go this way: navigation for better access quality in mobile networks

Abstract Despite the wide deployment of mobile network infrastructure, mobile users still experience varying network quality. We posit that it is caused by the combined effects of the imbalanced geographic coverage of mobile networks and users' lacking (and thus ignoring) such information when choosing their travel paths. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme, network-oriented navigation (NetNavi), for mobile users to improve their network access on a trip. More specifically, we overlay the physical road map with mobile network performance maps to find paths satisfying user needs on both network quality and travel delay. Through evaluations of two major cellular networks on three maps of different scales and locations, we show that NetNavi can significantly improve network access quality at low cost for mobile users, increasing the average download throughput by 67.5% for 67.6% source-destination pairs with only 11.4% extra travel delay (and as significant as 193.8% with only 3% extra travel delay in some cases). Our results, although preliminary, demonstrate the great potentials of improving network access quality for mobile users, without even changing network infrastructure or mobile applications.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
