Abstract
As smart phones and mobile devices are proliferating, the traffic volume generated by them is growing drastically these days [1]. Due to these devices are often connected to WiFi access points (APs) for the first/last mile accesses to the Internet, WiFI APs accommodate large traffic to and from these mobile devices. We observe that while downloading large content onto such mobile devices is often aided by caches placed at and near the WiFi APs, uploading has rarely been considered. This paper proposes a viable uploading acceleration service on WiFi APs. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to introduce the design of the framework of upload acceleration for mobile devices. We also implement our first prototype system on top of virtualized WiFi APs and evaluate the reduction of upload time of video files via our prototype.
