The density of mobile phones has increased rapidly in recent years. One drawback of the current mobile telephone technology is that it forces all the calls to go through cellular base stations even if the caller and the callee are within the radio range of each other. Hybrid cellular networks and Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) have been proposed as solutions that enable mobile phone users to bypass cellular base stations. However, these technologies either require special hardware or in some cases have to rely on the service providers. We identified that most of the Commodity-off-the-Shelf mobile phones are Wi-Fi (and Bluetooth) enabled. We propose a Community Mobile Network (COMONet) which utilizes Wi-Fi (and Bluetooth) to build ad hoc network among mobile phone users to bypass GSM base stations whenever possible. COMONet does not depend on special noncommodity hardware and it is a software based solution. COMONet monitors all the available paths over the ad hoc network and it transparently switches to the regular path over the service provider's GSM base station if a path is not available over the ad hoc network. In COMONet the caller and the callee do not have to be within the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth range of each other to make a call since the COMONet is capable of routing calls through the other mobile nodes that are participating in the COMONet.

COMONET:社区移动网络

近年来,手机的密度迅速增加。当前移动电话技术的一个缺点是它强制所有呼叫通过蜂窝基站,即使呼叫者和被呼叫者在彼此的无线电范围内。混合蜂窝网络和非授权移动接入 (UMA) 已被提议作为使移动电话用户能够绕过蜂窝基站的解决方案。然而,这些技术要么需要特殊的硬件,要么在某些情况下必须依赖服务提供商。我们发现大多数现成的手机都支持 Wi-Fi(和蓝牙)。我们提出了一个社区移动网络 (COMONEt),它利用 Wi-Fi(和蓝牙)在移动电话用户之间建立临时网络,以尽可能绕过 GSM 基站。COMONET 不依赖于特殊的非商品硬件,它是一种基于软件的解决方案。COMONEt 监控 ad hoc 网络上的所有可用路径,如果路径在 ad hoc 网络上不可用,它会透明地切换到服务提供商的 GSM 基站上的常规路径。在 COMONET 中,主叫方和被叫方不必处于彼此的 Wi-Fi 或蓝牙范围内即可进行呼叫,因为 COMONEt 能够通过参与 COMONEt 的其他移动节点路由呼叫。
