Title: Context aware mobility on the Android platform

Abstract:

Context or situational awareness has been used in various fields to build adaptive applications and systems. In this presentation I present an overview of the context aware mobility management prototype for the Android mobile phone platform that we have developed over the last three years at NICTA. The incoming context information is managed using a publish subscribe based context management system. Using this information we make handoff or network selection decisions on the energy optimal communications path. The handoffs are executed using Dual Stack Mobile IPv6. This presentation gives a more detailed view of the energy aware network selection algorithm.
