High Performance Connectivity On Buses enables high-performance Internet access aboard moving vehicles. Vehicles that currently provide on-board Internet access are equipped with wide-area wireless links that tend to be lossy and have long delays. As a result, application performance over these types of links can be quite poor.

High Performance Connectivity On Buses seamlessly bonds multiple wide-area links into a single, high-performance communication medium using the following techniques:
High Performance Connectivity On Buses protects against packet losses using a novel erasure coding technique. Coded packets are sent only when there are instantaneous openings in a wireless link?s spare capacity, and packets are coded such that each coded packet that High Performance Connectivity On Buses sends maximizes the expected number of packets recovered. Using this technique, coded packets do not interfere with data traffic.


High Performance Connectivity On Buses transmits each data packet along the wireless link that offers the fastest delivery, which minimizes application traffic delays.
