“…With an additional degree of mobile node involvement, there are a very few proposals aiming at the coordination of a set of mobile nodes to create MANET connectivity opportunities. Cooperating ad Hoc networking to sUpport Messaging (CHUM) dynamically elects one node to play the role of gateway between the MANET and the fixed network infrastructure [8]. In particular, CHUM exploits WLAN connectivity on the MANET side and 3G on the infrastructure side.…”

Abstract. The availability of heterogeneous wireless interfaces and of growing computing resources on widespread portable devices pushes for enabling innovative deployment scenarios where mobile nodes dynamically self-organize to offer Internet connectivity to their peers via dynamically established multi-hop multi-path opportunities. We claim the suitability of novel, mobility-aware, and application-layer middleware based on lightweight evaluation indicators to support the complexity of that scenario, involving heterogeneous wireless technologies over differentiated and statically unpredictable execution environments. To validate these claims, we have implemented an innovative middleware that manages the durability/throughput-aware formation and selection of different multi-hop paths simultaneously. This paper specifically focuses on how our middleware effectively exploits Bluetooth for multi-hop multi-path networking, by pointing out the crucial role of i) compliance with standard solutions to favor rapid deployment over off-the-shelf equipment and ii) the reduction of the usual overhead associated with some expensive Bluetooth operations, e.g., device inquiry. In particular, the paper shows how it is possible, on the one hand, to extend JSR-82 to portably access monitoring indicators for lightweight mobility/throughput estimations and, on the other hand, to reduce the time needed to update the set of available Bluetooth-based connectivity opportunities via approximated and lightweight forms of discovery.

“…Lastly, we address how to handle network dynamic in the presence of user joining, leaving, and failures. We have conducted simulation to evaluate the performance of COSMOS and compare it with a recently proposed system, CHUM [3]. Our results show that COSMOS achieves better performance in delay, cost fairness, video bitrate achieved, and resilience to peer failure, with some sacrifice in cost.…”

In traditional mobile streaming networks such as 3G cellular networks, all users pull streams from a server. Such pull model leads to high streaming cost and problem in system scalability. In this paper, we propose and investigate a scalable and cost-effective protocol to distribute multimedia content to mobiles in a peer-to-peer manner. Our protocol, termed Collaborative Streaming among Mobiles (COSMOS), makes use of multiple description coding (MDC) and data sharing to achieve high performance. In COSMOS, only a few peers pull video descriptions through a telecommunication channel. Using a free broadcast channel (such as Wi-Fi and bluetooth), they share the descriptions to nearby neighbors in an ad-hoc manner. This way reduces greatly the telecommunication cost and cellular bandwidth requirement. As video descriptions are supplied by multiple peers, COSMOS is robust to peer failure. Since broadcasting is used to distribute video data, the protocol is highly scalable to large number of users. By taking turns to pull descriptions, we show through simulation that peers can effectively share, and hence substantially reduce, streaming cost. As peers can often obtain a number of descriptions from nearby neighbors, they enjoy lower delay as compared to a recent scheme CHUM.

With the multi-fold development in communication technology, there has been a rapid growth in consumption of multimedia services using mobile devices. In particular, lots of research has been done to provide multimedia services using a 3G/WLAN dual mode to mobile device users. All users download contents from content providers through cellular networks and can share their contents with their neighbors. However, we believe that selfish users (or users with limited resources) are not willing to cooperate or share their contents with other users.In this paper, we propose an incentive scheme that gives the benefit of contents sharing to users in a 3G/WLAN dual mode supporting network. There are two types of users: premium users and ordinary users. Premium users can get high quality contents at the expense of spending their own money and resources of power and bandwidth, while ordinary users receive plain quality contents freely or with paying little amount of money. Our incentive mechanism designs the content provider to offer each premium user a discounted price for downloading high quality contents. Through our approach, each premium user will receive some incentive of a discounted price for receiving high quality contents in proportion to the contribution to the content provider. By doing so, the content provider can increase its total utility too. Our simulation results confirm that our proposed incentive scheme performs well.
