Abstract
It is common that current mobile devices are equipped with multiple interfaces such as GPRS or UMTS for wireless WAN (WWAN) link as well as WiFi and/or bluetooth for local networking. Meanwhile, it is also possible that a number of mobile subscribers keep close for a period of time and fetch and play same live stream from Internet. Stimulated by these facts, we develop \textit{C$5$}, a Collaborative Content fetching scheme for Common Characteristics Community, which employs a small scale P2SP framework of a hybrid mobile network and a set of application-level fetching procedures to enable collaborative streaming. The chunk selection strategies are particularly investigated in this paper. Simulation results show that \textit{C$5$} can provide better playback performance in the live streaming application for community members than individual fetching. Thus it can improve the user experiences for mobile Internet subscribers.
