Abstract:
Android is rapidly gaining market share among smart phones with high-speed next-generation Internet connectivity. A whole new generation of users is consuming rich content that requires high throughput. Applications like FaceBook and YouTube have reached mobile devices. Multimedia data, i.e. video, is becoming easily accessible: large multi-media files are being routinely downloaded. Peer to-peer content delivery is one way to ensure the volume that can be efficiently delivered. However, the openness of delivery demands adaptive and robust management of intellectual property rights. In this paper we describe a framework and its implementation to address the central issues in content delivery: a scalable peer-to-peer-based content delivery model, paired with a secure access control model that enables data providers to reap a return from making their original content available. Our prototype implementation for the Android platform for mobile phones is described in detail.
