abstract = "Multi-homing allows the system to provide a wider range of Internet services with faster, cheaper, and more stable communication services to end-users. Personal Area Networks (PANs) is a typical example of such multi-homed mobile network. It can be formed with multiple devices including PDA, phones, laptops and sensors using a multitude of wireless technologies for PAN to infrastructure connectivity. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture based on a Distributed Virtual Network Interfaces (DVNI) concept. This architecture allows each device of a given PAN to share all network interfaces with other devices and hence enforce PAN to infrastructure connectivity. The choice of the current gateway to be used is based on node's QoS requirement.",
