Summary:
The development of high speed mobile networks such as LTE~(long term evolution) and the widespread use of smartphones have enabled users to easily obtain large volume contents via the Internet. However, this causes a heavy consumption of network resources, which would thus be a burden on available bandwidth. For solving this kind of problems, a data offloading method with wireless LAN access point has been practically used to distribute traffic from mobile networks to fixed networks. However, the method with wireless LAN access point can only change the communication paths but cannot reduce the overall traffic. This paper proposes a cooperative data offloading system that reduces the overall traffic by sharing data with direct communication between neighbours based on their location information. Moreover, we implement the proposed system on Android smartphones and clarify its performance in comparison with a traditional client/server system through the experiments to download data in an actual environment.
