REAL-TIME COMPARISON OF QUALITY OF INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A method for substantially real-time comparison of quality of interfaces (QoIs) by mobile devices having multiple heterogeneous interfaces that communicate over heterogeneous wireless networks, comprising:
- comparing in substantially real-time the qualities of multiple interfaces of a mobile device that connect to heterogeneous networks using path quality metrics that are independent of how the QoI is measured, whether measured by a path through a wireless network alone or a path through both a wireless network and through a wired network,said method including comparing path quality as a quickest change detection problem for observations from a new interface or comparing path quality based on sequential two sample tests.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a system and method for substantially real-time comparison of quality of interfaces by mobile devices over heterogeneous networks is disclosed. The method can be performed using a dynamic and rapid comparison by distributed hosts, using a minimal number of injected network packets, using minimal path quality metrics, which path quality metrics are independent of how a Qol is measured, and in a manner suitable for both wireline and wireless networks.
