For example, a high bandwidth but unreliable wireless network might co-exist with a reliable wired link (EWLANs and neighborhood networks). In this paper, we present a system that uses this reliable wired communication channel to boost the bandwidth of the lossy wireless link. Specifically, we propose a new, efficient partial packet recovery (PPR) technique and adaptive feedback mechanism specially designed to correct partial packets on an 802.11 wireless network using a wired backhaul. Our initial experiments demonstrate up to a 3x improvement over standalone 802.11 and upto a 30\% improvement over existing PPR techniques.”, booktitle = “ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc)”, articleno = “7”, numpages = “11”, category = “Chaotic”, month = “May”, location = “Paris, France”, series = “MobiHoc ‘11” }
