A Collaborative Video Download Application Based on Wi-Fi Direct

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.
