Segmented File Sharing with Recursive Epidemic Placement Policy for Reliability in Mobile Peer-to-Peer Devices
Date Issued
2005
Abstract
Peer-to-Peer applications have become highly popular
in today's pervasive environments due to the spread of
different file sharing platforms. In such a multiclient
environment, if users have mobility characteristics,
asymmetry in communication causes a degradation of
reliability. This work proposes an approach based on the
advantages of epidemic selective resource placement
through mobile Infostations. Epidemic Placement Policy
combines the strengths of both proactive multicast group
establishment and hybrid Infostation concept. With
epidemic selective placement we face the flooding problem
locally (in geographic region/landscape) and enable end to
end reliability by forwarding requested packets to
epidemically ‘selected’ mobile users in the network on a
recursive basis. The selection of users is performed based
on their remaining capacity, weakness of their signal and
other explained mobility limitations. Examination through
simulation is performed for the response and reliability
offered by epidemic placement policy which reveals the
robustness and reliability in file sharing among mobile
peers.
