Mobile P2P: Data Retrieval and Caching

Peer-to-peer is a popular distributed overlay network due to its easy deployable property. Mobile computing and communications are improving day by day. With this advancement in technologies, mobile p2p has revealed its attractions. But resource constraints such as limited bandwidth, power and memory along with nodes mobility make it challenging to build a scalable and a robust mobile p2p network. Content discovery and locating are crucial that affects the performance of the system. Data caching and adopting dynamic topology of the mobile p2p systems are important to accelerate the effectiveness the system. In this project we discuss these issues to enhance the applicability of mobile p2p systems and give some guidelines to the researchers in this field.
