Abstract:

The support platform is an infrastructure of core mechanisms for software development, operation and management.In the research area of mobile peertopeer networks,the implementation of support platform is considered as the key technology.This paper presents the design and implementation of a mobile peertopeer platformMOBIPEER.We first introduce and categorize the main functions of the support platform,secondly focus on several key technologies in the implementation process, finally develop an instant messaging application based on this platform.The results show that the MOBIPEER can provide a good foundation of practice research of mobile peertopeer networks.

Key words: mobile peer-to-peer network;support platform;layeredapproach;transport framework
