Abstract
In this work we model video delivery under expected periods of disconnection, such as the ones experienced in public transportation systems. Our main goal is to quantify the gains of users' collaboration in terms of Quality of Experience (QoE) in the context of intermittently available and bandwidth-limited WiFi connectivity. Under the assumption that Wi-Fi connectivity is available within underground stations, but absent between them, at first, we define a mathematical model which describes the content distribution under these conditions and we present the users' QoE function in terms of undisrupted video playback. Next, we expand this model to include the case of collaboration between users for content sharing in a peer-to-peer (P2P) way. Lastly, we evaluate our model based on real data from the London Underground network, where we investigate the feasibility of content distribution, only to find that collaboration between users increases significantly their QoE.
