Abstract
This paper proposes a new application-based end-to-end communication platform for smartphones. We have implemented a “Network Traversal with Mobility” (NTMobile) function, which is an IP mobility protocol developed by the authors, as an application library, and extended it suitable for smartphone devices. To the best of our knowledge, this is globally the first attempt to realize full connectivity and IP mobility in the application layer on smartphone OSs. By using our developed application platform, iOS and Android devices can start communication with each other in any combinations of IPv4 private networks, IPv4 global networks, and IPv6 networks, and they can change their access networks with maintaining the communication.
