“…Similar approaches are Karma 2 which adds a subtle social layer to WiFi sharing, and WeFi 3 and Boingo 4 which provide hotspot databases. The research community is interested in this topic, too, and investigated incentives and algorithms for broadband access sharing [3], and ubiquitous WiFi access architectures for deployment in metropolitan areas [4], [5]. The most similar work to our approach was conducted in [6], which describes trust-based WiFi password sharing via an OSN app.…”

Today's Internet services are increasingly accessed from mobile devices, thus being responsible for growing load in mobile networks. At the same time, more and more WiFi routers are deployed such that a dense coverage of WiFi is available. Results from different related works suggest that there is a high potential of reducing load on the mobile networks by offloading data to WiFi networks, thereby improving mobile users' quality of experience (QoE) with Internet services. Additionally, the storage of the router could be used for content caching and delivery close to the end user, which is more energy efficient compared to classical content servers, and saves costs for network operators by reducing traffic between autonomous systems. Going one step beyond, we foresee that merging these approaches and augmenting them with social information from online social networks (OSNs) will result both in even less costs for network operators and increased QoE of end users. Therefore, we propose home router sharing based on trust (HORST) -a socially-aware traffic management solution which targets three popular use cases: data offloading to WiFi, content caching/prefetching, and content delivery.

Video streaming is the most popular application in today's mobile Internet and its growing demands and popularity put more and more load on cellular networks. In a recent trend to mitigate the cellular load, followed by many providers, users are offered to offload mobile connections to WiFi hotspots, which are predominately deployed in urban environments. In this work, we conduct a simulative performance evaluation of the impact of WiFi offloading on the Quality of Experience (QoE) of video streaming. The evaluation is based on connectivity measurements from a German city and uses a simple QoE model for estimating the perceived quality of video streaming. Our findings show that, despite its benefits for operators, offloading to WiFi has a negative impact on video streaming QoE for some users when 3G/4G coverage is available. Only in the case of 2G coverage, WiFi offloading can significantly improve the perceived quality for users.
