Ambient Assisted Living as a Service (AALaaS) implementation is an emerging area of research and many different solutions could be found worldwide. In this paper, a decentralized foggy solution that well be context-aware and data-oriented is proposed. The new intelligent Peer-to-Peer framework supporting the Radio Access Network (RAN) management, which analyzes dynamically the traffic from the mobile...
Locality-awareness is considered as a promising approach to increase the efficiency of content distribution by peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, e.g., BitTorrent. It is intended to reduce the inter-domain traffic which is costly for Internet service providers (ISPs) and simultaneously increase the performance from the viewpoint of the P2P users, i.e, shorten download times. This win-win situation should...
Peer-to-peer networks are immensely popular, but bootstrapping them usually requires centralized infrastructure. In fully decentralized environments such as mobile ad hoc networks, the use of centralized solutions are not possible. This paper presents a method of bootstrapping P2P overlay networks running on MANETs, and demonstrates a Java implementation of the algorithm. Simulation results show that...
Wireless infrastructures have seen a drastic increase in energy requirements as technology shifted towards higher frequencies in an attempt to increase bandwidth. This is further accentuated by increasingly demanding real-time services such as video streaming. To cater for these new services and still guarantee an adequate quality of service, wireless network operators in large cities have to install...
JXME is the JXTA protocols implementation for mobile devices using J2ME. Two different flavors of JXME have been implemented, each one specific for a particular set of devices, according to their capabilities. The main value of JXME is its simplicity to create peer-to-peer (P2P) applications in limited devices. In addition to assessing JXME functionalities, it is also important to realize the default...
Emergency services and networks are an emerging area of scientific research. During an emergency scenario such as forest fires, earthquakes, tsunamis and terrorist attacks rescuers need to establish communication to coordinate their actions by using smart and lightweight mobile devices. To this end, autonomous networks should be utilised to support the afore communications. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks...
Abstract-Recently, popularity of multimedia content sharing among the Internet users and development of wireless mobile devices have promoted a trend of deploying Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for mobile content distribution. However, due to limited radio transmission range, sporadic node densities and power limitations, MANETs may become intermittently connected...
Wireless infrastructures have seen a drastic increase in energy requirements as technology shifted towards higher frequencies in an attempt to increase bandwidth. Driven by the increase in demand from an always increasing subscriber base, large cities are also demanding more base stations and access points to guarantee adequate quality of service. Mobile peer networking is a possible solution for...
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are adaptive and self-organizing, and as a consequence, securing such networks is non-trivial. Most security schemes suggested for MANETs tend to build upon some fundamental assumptions regarding the trustworthiness of the participating hosts and the underlying networking system. If MANET is to achieve the same level of acceptance as traditional wired and wireless network...
Peer-to-peer content-distribution networks are nowadays highly popular among users that have stationary computers with high-bandwidth Internet connections. Mobile devices (e.g. cell phones) that are connected to the Internet via cellular-radio networks, however, could not yet be launched into this field to a satisfactory extent. Although most mobile devices have the necessary hardware resources for...
Wireless technologies are rapidly evolving and the users are demanding the possibility of changing its point of attachment to the Internet (i.e. default router) without breaking the IP communications. This can be achieved by using Mobile IP or NEMO, however mobile clients must forward its data packets through its Home Agent (HA) in order to communicate with its peers. This sub-optimal route (lack...
The trend on the proliferation of handheld devices triggered an increase on the development of pervasive and personalized mobile applications that exploit and support peer-to-peer/ad-hoc networks. This creates the conditions and motivation for a mobile electronic ID system, preferably one which provides a friendly privacy solution. The existing mobile identification solutions place the interviewer...
A mobile ad hoc network (MANet) is a flexible way to interconnect mobile devices. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are serverless self-organized infrastructures that enable end-to-end communications. The P2P churn and the instabilities of MANETs interconnections bring important challenges to P2P over MANETs(PoM). A consumer peer in PoM wastes several of its scarce resources managing the communication with...
Inter-vehicle communication (IVC) protocols have the potential to increase the safety, efficiency, and convenience of transportation systems involving planes, trains, automobiles, and robots. The applications targeted include peer-to-peer networks for web surfing, coordinated braking, runway incursion prevention, adaptive traffic control, vehicle formations, and many others. The diversity of the applications...
Peer-to-peer networks are very popular but the problem of bootstrapping them has largely been ignored. In a fully decentralized environment such as a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) the usual bootstrapping solutions, which typically require a centralized service, are not possible. We present a method of bootstrapping P2P overlay networks running on MANETs which involves multicasting P2P overlay join...
Coming with the development of the wireless equipment, more applications can be transplanted onto a mobile platform. So the transmission of multimedia in the wireless network enters our sight. In order to improve the efficiency of system, we propose the p2p structure. For peers in the wireless network are less stable than normal, we use the mobile node ID instead of the static node ID in Kademlia...
Peer to peer (P2P) utilizes the resources of an offered service without the need for a central server or preexistent server-client, making it a desirable network environment for data exchange based on direct connection between peers. Proposed by Sun Microsystems, JXTA is a typical P2P system and distributed computing model that does not require central service resources and is flexible to deal with...
This paper describes an architecture for sharing data in XML format through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which interconnects devices ranging from high-end servers to mobile devices. The XOP architecture allows devices with low storage capacity and subject to disconnection to use other peers of the P2P network for storing data. Users are able to locate and access data in a friendly and flexible way...
This paper describes experiences from implementing an experimental mobile peer-to-peer application called Peer2Schedule aimed at improving and supporting collaboration where people are collocated. Peer2Schedule was built on top of the Peer2Me framework that provides management of mobile ad hoc networks over Bluetooth. The goal of the Peer2Schedule project can be divided into three main areas. 1) To...
Peer-to-peer and mobile networks gained significant attention of both research community and industry. Applying the peer-to-peer paradigm in mobile networks lead to several problems regarding the bandwidth demand of peer-to-peer networks. Time-critical messages are delayed and delivered unacceptably slow. In addition to this, scarce bandwidth is wasted on messages of less priority. Therefore, the...
