Abstract

Mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) computing with applications such as for video on demand, le sharing, and video conferencing is gaining momentum based on new standards and technologies such as IETF PPSP, WiFi-Direct and BitTorrent live streaming. In this paper, we describe the mobile system MyMedia, that allows users to search, share and experience videos and live recordings using P2P and at the best quality possible with respect to available network capacity. In particular, the MyMedia system features a high-precision semantic P2P search and dynamic network-adaptive P2P live streaming of MPEG videos over HTTP based on the ISO/IEC standard MPEG-DASH from mobile to mobile devices in unstructured wireless P2P networks. Experimental evaluation of these features in terms of performance and energy consumption, and a rst, limited evaluation of user acceptance at a lm festival showed that the MyMedia system is suitable for its purpose. The MyMedia system is available as open-source software for the Android operating system.
