| | 5 | Challenge: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | In some stadiums, sports fans can view personal video feeds through their mobile devices. However, it is difficult to guarantee the reception reliability of these devices because each user |
| | 8 | experiences different wireless channel conditions. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | Solution: |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Take advantage of the multiplicity of radios on modern devices and their physical proximity in a stadium to allow cooperative packet recovery over a secondary network. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | * Wireless devices are connected to the principal network (WiMAX) to receive broadcast data such as live video feeds |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | * A wireless device may lose some of the data sent over the principal network |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | * Physically co-located wireless devices form an assistant network over WiFi to recover the lost data cooperatively from their peers |
