Cooperative Content Downloading Framework over Cellular Network

Abstract

The development in wireless communication technology and mobile computing has made it possible to use smart phones, laptops, and tabs massively for downloading purpose. There are a number of applications which provide a single user downloading scheme but there is no provision for cooperative downloading i.e. multiple user can download the same file provided each group member will download a separate segment of file. The software likes Torrent, YouTube facilitates only a single end user to download a file. However because of limited bandwidth access the data download volume by an individual is quite less and take much more time to download a high resolution video. Nowadays, there are unlimited 2G/3G plans provided by internet service provider the most of data plans are waste due to bandwidth limitations. The cooperative content downloading framework will allow the requested members in the group to download some portion of the file separately. This will provide the ability to download the file cooperatively in less time and cost. The proposed system will also show the actual process how the bandwidth can be shared among the friends and group member. The system will provide the efficient use of bandwidth in different environment.
