All Rights Reserved abstract: We developed a collaborative video download application, which allows several users to form a local group via peer-to-peer (P2P) links and collaboratively help one user in the group to download a high quality video. Cellular interface and P2P interface are simultaneously utilised in the application to guarantee quality of experience (QoE) when the cellular connection is disrupted. The application is based on Wi-Fi Direct technology and it exploits the service discovery function of the Wi-Fi Direct framework. Apart from the implementation itself, we also model collaborative video streaming over the cellular network under periodic cellular disconnections (e.g., the commuters experience poor Internet services when trains travel through tunnels). Our purpose is to exploit the gains of the collaborative download between users in the context of periodic disconnections and limited cellular downlink rate. We simulate several scenarios to find the requirements of the application that guarantee seamless and undisrupted playback. date: 2016-04-28 date_type: published publisher: Springer International Publishing official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-33936-8 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1137119 doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-33936-8_12 isbn_13: 9783319339351 lyricists_name: Pavlou, George lyricists_name: Psaras, Ioannis lyricists_name: Tasiopoulos, Argyrios lyricists_id: GPAVL62 lyricists_id: IPSAR42 lyricists_id: ATASI61 full_text_status: public series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science publication: WWIC volume: 9674 pagerange: 147-158 event_title: 14th IFIP WG 6.2 International Conference, 25-27 May 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece issn: 0302-9743 book_title: Wired/Wireless Internet Communications: 14th IFIP WG 6.2 International Conference, WWIC 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece, May 25-27, 2016, Proceedings editors_name: Mamatas, L editors_name: Matta, I editors_name: Papadimitriou, P editors_name: Koucheryavy, Y citation: Sha, H; Tasiopoulos, AG; Psaras, I; Pavlou, G; (2016) A Collaborative Video Download Application Based on Wi-Fi Direct.
