ACCESS POINT DIVERSITY-BASED INTERNET ACCESS ON A HIGHLY DYNAMIC AD HOC NETWORK

At present the internet connection is provided by cellular networks, but at comparatively higher costs. Besides, the amount of data from internet-enabled devices has proven to be insufficient. As there is a growth in the number of people using mobile data, the end users are facing severe drawback in quality performance. A group of access points (AP) is allotted to a client, and the transfer succeeds if the AP completes the delivery with the client. By configuring all APs with the same MAC addresses, IP addresses and opportunistic transmission are tracked to overcome the high packet loss ratio. This creates an illusion to a client that only one (virtual) AP exists and will always be connected with this (virtual) AP, when the end user transmits a packet to the virtual AP. During the transmission if anyone of the APs receives the packet, it is said to be successful.
