Abstract

The capability's of our mobile devices, e.g., smartphones, allows for multiple connectivity interfaces and overall a better experience sending and receiving data. The limiting factor that slows down the process is latency through cellular and WiFi connections within different environments. By exploring the latency of mobile devices in different connection scenarios, it opens up tons of opportunity's to find more cost-efficient ways to connect to networks, download applications, and use the best possible interface within a given scenario. In this paper, we measured the latency data over the center city, Philadelphia, and the main campus, Rowan University. The results show that different scenarios have different latency pattern and it is a necessity to propose cost-efficient communication methods.
