mQual: A Mobile Peer-to-Peer Network Framework Supporting Quality of Service

Abstract

Mobile peer-to-peer applications require devices to network themselves on-the-fly to communicate directly with each another. This paper presents mQual, a framework to help create such networks that meet different application requirements, and is able to adjust the network to ensure that these requirements are met in dynamic environments. Our prototype mQual extends the current WiFi-Direct in Android, and the experimental results suggests that mobile apps built using mQual outperform those built using WiFi-Direct.
