                  traffic burstness and poses threat of congestion to
                  current cellular-based wireless
                  infrastructures. Inspired by the idea of integrating
                  a cellular-based infrastructure with ad-hoc
                  relaying, we propose a new architecture for the
                  next-generation wireless networks, termed PARCelS,
                  which utilizes roaming mobile hosts to perform route
                  relaying. PARCelS is cost-effective as it saves the
                  large investment in existent cellular-based
                  infrastructures and does not need dedicated mobile
                  devices. Our evaluations show that PARCelS can
                  balance traffic load, avoid traffic congestion, and
                  reduce latency.}
