Mobile Peer-to-peer Communications: an Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) communications refers to communications services enabled by P2P technologies. Two alternatives for deploying mobile P2P communications services were considered: the open standard draft for the P2PSIP and some mobile variants of the proprietary Skype service. The main benefit of both is the elimination of most centralized components in the communications network resulting in cost savings. The main uncertainties are related to the restrictions in mobile networks posed by both technology and operators. Supposedly mobile P2P communications will be mainly used in an ad-hoc manner when normal communications services are not affordable.

This paper proposes a method for initiating IP-based peer-to-peer (P2P) communication sessions in cases where the target of the initial communication attempt is a mobile device. Mobile P2P networking poses certain problems: a battery-powered device may not always keep its network interfaces on for IP communications due to battery life issues, and mobile hosts are typically also behind a NAT tha...
