| Summary: | The peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol has evolved from depending on Internet connection provided by the
cellular network, to free Internet connectivity through Wi-Fi technology. On the other hand, IEEE 802.15.4 is considered
as today’s one of the top growing wireless protocol. This paper introduces ZigBee technology, which falls under this
standard, into the mobile P2P environment, where it involves devices with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is the
lowest version of the Android platform that can be found among mobile devices. This paper integrates ZigBee into
Android P2P environment and preliminary results showed that it is possible to send and receive files over ZigBee radio, yet
the time taken for complete file transfer depends on the file size.
Keywords: peer-to-peer, zigbee, android, message broadcasting, file sharing. |
