The Proposed Mobile P2P Middleware Each device in this particular environment comprises of the layer structure as displayed. 7

The Proposed Mobile P2P Middleware Since there has been an increasing tendency of using an Android-Based mobile Smartphones and tablets among many users, the proposed middleware has various applications in the current paper. 8

Research Methodology and Hypothesis Research methodology 9

ANDROID Platform Architecture Linux Kernel Library and Android Runtime Application Framework Applications 10

Linux Kernel Thus, the major part of the system is equal to an abstract level between the hardware and other software in the systems. 11

Library and Android Runtime Dalvik virtual machine 12

Application Framework This same mechanism allows components to be replaced by the user. 13

Applications 包含內建的應用程式 - 聯絡人、 、 Map 、 Calendar 、簡訊 … 等等 從 Market 下載的程式 自行開發的程式 14

P2P System Applications and Services Voice communication Text messaging Photo/video sharing during an event Local social networking Multi–player gaming Last–mile connectivity 15

Challenges and Limitations Reliable and Trust models should be provided for supporting the users’ desires to comply with the rules of protocol. Thus, it is important to take into consideration these requirements in the proposed mobile P2P protocol for the ensemble mobile environment to overcome the challenges especially the mobility and heterogeneity. 16

Conclusion The need for developing a middleware with an enhanced protocol for Android-based mobile devices is becoming real. 17
