Abstract

We describe a cross-layer architecture we are developing in order to offer mobility support to wireless devices executing multimedia applications which require seamless communications. This architecture is based on the use of pairs of proxies, which enable the adaptive and concurrent use of different network interfaces during the communications. A cloud computing environment is used as the infrastructure to set up (and release) dynamically the proxies on the server-side, in accordance with the pay-as-you-go principle of cloud based services.
