As users collect multiple small computing devices, the amount of communication resources available to the user increases and so the demand for coordination of resources between these devices increases. The efficient use of these resources is enabled through the forming of a network of these MObile grouPEd Devices (MOPEDs) to support an individual. The support of MOPEDs in the Internet presents a shift from mobility support for an individual device with a single network interface to a network of devices with multiple network interfaces. This paper discusses the challenges involved in providing effective resource management for MOPEDs, focusing on managing bandwidth and energy. We discuss four major challenges: channel discovery, resource monitoring, resource allocation and mobility management.
