论文摘要
车辆通过蜂窝网络而不是Wi-Fi网络访问Internet。这种选择主要是通过蜂窝网络的无处不在的覆盖范围来证明的：过去，Wi-Fi覆盖范围在过去，即使在城市地区也是不足的。 我们认为，通过Wi-Fi提供与车辆的互联网连接值得一提。近年来，由于Wi-Fi网络覆盖范围的改善，我们提出了Wi-Fi Assist，这是当前Wi-Fi基础架构的附加组件，这些基础设施与现有解决方案的不同方式以两种关键方式不同：（1）它是基础架构驱动的； （2）定义了由不同服务提供商管理的不同WLAN服务集之间低延迟合作的接口。
Vehicles access the Internet via cellular networks, instead of Wi-Fi networks. This choice has been mostly justified by the ubiquitous coverage of cellular networks: Wi-Fi coverage has been shown to be inadequate in the past, even in urban areas. We argue that providing Internet connectivity to vehicles via Wi-Fi is worth a revisit. Motivated by improvements in Wi-Fi network coverage in recent years, we propose Wi-Fi Assist, an add-on to current Wi-Fi infrastructures which differs from existing solutions in two key ways: (1) it is heavily infrastructure-driven; and (2) defines an interface for low-latency cooperation between different WLAN service sets, managed by different service providers.
