Mobility aware Socket Layer (MaSL) for seamless connectivity in mobile networks

Published in IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Nanjing, China, 2021

This paper presents Mobility aware Socket Layer (MaSL), a software-based solution designed to ensure seamless connectivity and enhanced QoS during user mobility and handovers in 5G networks. By interacting with lower layers, MaSL improves transport layer performance, reducing reconnection latency and boosting throughput, as validated through simulations and live-air experiments
