Abstract

The demand for group communication using smart devices in campus environment is increasing rapidly. In this paper, we design an architecture for a mobile group communication system (MGCS) on campus by using Wi-Fi networks and smart devices. The architecture is composed of a web-based system and a smart device based mobile system. Through the systems, users on campus create community/ mobile group, maintain dynamic group membership, and reliably deliver the message to other users. We use the common features of many smart devices to develop a prototype that works on o.-the-shelf hardware. In the experimental section, we demonstrate our system using various real scenarios which can occur in university campuses.
