Today a growing number of people need to work on laptops with wireless Internet connection. There are two common wireless Internet access solutions: wireless local area network (WLAN) via hotspot, and high speed wide area cellular network via mobile broadband device such as 3G/4G Universal Serial Bus (USB) dongle. USB dongle was the pioneer product in 3G/4G market, and it is still a popular device in many countries. Mobile broadband can offer both high speed access and mobility. Technically mobile broadband allows Internet connection as long as your mobile transceiver can access your cellular network operator’s network. However, in practice the data rates experienced by a user via mobile broadband are not comparable to the data rates that are available via WLAN. Moreover, mobile broadband has been implemented according to multiple different standards. Hence, in order to provide a user with locally optimal service requires that user must make use of heterogeneous networks. Furthermore, the variety of networks gets increasing due to the emergence of various 4G networks. The aim of this thesis is to explore how heterogeneous networks could be exploited to provide a user of a laptop computer with locally optimal service, while hiding the complexity of this heterogeneous service. The research focuses on the implications of integrating multiple network interfaces into a single USB dongle. Our research shows that multi-mode USB dongle is still needed in market, though there are competitions from smartphones and mobile WiFi devices. We point out that the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) based USB dongle should update to Ethernet USB protocols such as RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) or USB CDC (Communications Device Class) protocols. Furthermore, we suggest a USB dongle should be able to work as a WLAN access point to share Internet with other mobile devices, and it should also work as a WLAN client which can join other hotspots. If hotspot operators can authenticate USB dongles by SIM cards, then users can easily access a great number of hotspots belong to these operators. / Mer än någonsin behöver människan arbeta med bärbara datorer med anslutning till trådlöst Internet. Det finns två vanliga trådlösa Internet-anslutningar: trådlöst lokalt nätverk (WLAN på engelska) via en hotspot, eller höghastighets mobilnät via mobilt bredband som 3G/4G Universal Serial Bus (USB) dongel. USB dongeln var pionjär produkten inom 3G/4G marknaden, och den är fortfarande en populär enhet i många länder. Mobilt bredband kan erbjuda både tillgång till höga hastighet och bra mobilitet. Mobilt bredband tillåter, rent tekniskt, användaren hålla en Internet-anslutning så länge mobilen har tillgång till mobilnätets operatörsnät. Men i praktiken är datahastigheterna, som användaren upplever ha via det mobila bredbandet, inte jämförbar med de datahastigheter som är tillgängliga via WLAN. Dessutom har mobilt bredband implementerats enligt flera olika standarder. Således, för att förutse en användare med en optimal lokal tjänst, krävs det att användaren måste använda heterogena nätverk. Dessutom blir olika nätverk allt större på grund av uppkomsten av olika 4G-nät. Syftet med denna avhandling är att undersöka hur heterogena nätverk skulle kunna utnyttjas för att förutse en laptop användare med optimal lokal nätverksservice, samtidigt dölja komplexiteten för användaren om den heterogena tjänsten. Forskningen fokuserar på konsekvenserna av att integrera flera nätverksgränssnitt till en enda USB-dongel. Vår forskning visar att det fortfarande behövs en multi-mode USB dongel på marknaden, dock existerar det konkurrens från smartphones och mobila WiFi-enheter. Vi påpekar även i avhandlingen att PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) baserade USB dongeln bör uppdateras till Ethernet USB-protokoll, såsom RNDIS (Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) eller USB CDC (Communications Device Class) protokoll. Vidare föreslår vi att en USB-dongel bör kunna fungera som en kopplingspunkt för att dela Internet med andra mobila enheter, och att den också bör fungera som en WLAN-klient som kan ansluta sig till andra hotspots. Om hotspot operatörer kan autentisera USB-donglar genom SIM-kort, så kan användarna enkelt få tillgång till ett stort antal hotspots som tillhör dessa operatörer.

Existen diversas tecnologías de comunicación con una computadora para la adquisición de datos, entre los más comunes se encuentran: PCI, USB, Ethernet, Firewire, puerto serial, etc. Dentro de ellos, el USB destaca por su configuración automática, bajo costo y facilidad de uso. A pesar de existir varios sistemas de adquisición de datos en el mercado, su uso se ve restringido debido a sus altos costos y por poder usarlo sólo con las aplicaciones y drivers del proveedor. En el presente trabajo se diseña un sistema de adquisición de datos con interface USB utilizando un microcontrolador Atmel de la familia AVR XMEGA, buscando en todo momento obtener la máxima tasa de transferencia posible. Para ello se desarrolla una aplicación en el microcontrolador que permita leer datos adquiridos de cuatro canales del ADC del microcontrolador. Asimismo, se desarrolla una clase USB propietaria que define cómo se van a trasferir los datos, qué tipo de transferencias USB se van a usar y cuál va a ser su máxima tasa de transferencia posible. En el lado de la computadora, se desarrolla una aplicación en lenguaje C que permita a la computadora poder comunicarse con el microcontrolador a través del bus USB. Para el desarrollo del firmware del microcontrolador se tomó como base el framework USB que provee Atmel (ASF 3.1.3, Atmel Software Framework), y posteriormente fue implementado en la tarjeta de evaluación XMEGA – A3BU XPLAINED con una frecuencia de CPU de 32MHz. Se obtuvo que en promedio se puede transmitir datos a 8.46Mbps usando un alto nivel de optimización del compilador. Se concluye que si se quiere obtener mejores tasas de transferencia se debe mejorar una serie de factores como: MIPS del microcontrolador y optimización del framework USB de Atmel. Finalmente, se recomienda portar este trabajo a microcontroladores que soporten el modo “Alta Velocidad” (del inglés High Speed) del USB 2.0, cuya velocidad por bit es de 480Mbps, así como desarrollar las etapas de preprocesamiento de las señales: amplificación, filtrado, e aislamiento de las señales que se quieran enviar por la interfaz USB. / Tesis
