Abstract :
BitTorrent-based file-sharing is already available for mobile phones; however, its energy profile makes it difficult to use it for transferring large amount of data. This paper analyzes an alternative cloud-based solution that uses a remote server to download content via BitTorrent and transfer it to the mobile device in a transparent and energy efficient way. The system is evaluated via measurements carried out on smartphones.
