An Incentive-Based System for Information Providers over Peer-to-Peer Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
An architecture for a peer-to-peer mobile ad-hoc network offering distributed information provision is presented. Any user can volunteer to become an information server (a server-user). Volunteering implies devoting some of the user’s computational resources (storage, bandwidth, processing power) to serving information. An incentive scheme is proposed to encourage end-users to become server-users. The latter are rewarded proportionally to the number of end-user queries served. The proposed architecture is specified as a protocol suite taking security and privacy aspects into account. Details are given on an implementation completed on a WiFi ad-hoc network for the specific case of a distributed tourist information service.

A New Intrusion Detection System to deal with Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
By extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. Security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. Due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
متن کاملA Peer-to-Peer Overlay Architecture for Mobile Networks
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are spreading to Mobile Networks. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) and P2P have already been under thorough research focus but lately also cellular networks and P2P have drawn more interest. This paper suggests a hybrid, mobile overlay P2P architecture, that connects MANET and cellular P2P networks via Mobile Proxies to universal P2P networks, called a Mobile Peer-to-P...

With the advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, peer-to-peer computing, in both academic research and industrial development, has recently begun to extend its scope to address problems relevant to mobile devices and wireless networks. This paper is a performance study of peer-to-peer systems over mobile ad hoc networks. We show that cross-...
متن کاملPartitionable Mobile File System over Ad-Hoc Networks
Most peer-to-peer file storage sharing systems work on wired networks. Due to the multi-hop wireless communication nature in ad-hoc networks, the development of mobile ad-hoc network file storage sharing system faces many challenges. In this paper, a hypothetical partitionable mobile file system (PMFS) is proposed. This new PMFS is a distributed file storing/sharing system built on partitionabl...

Peer-to-peer systems have gained a lot of attention as information sharing systems for the wide-spread exchange of resources and voluminous information among thousands of users. However, current peer-to-peer information sharing systems work mostly on wired networks. With the growing number of communication-equipped mobile devices that can self-organize into infrastructure-less communication pla...
