A Cross-Layered Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Wireless Mobile Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel peer-to-peer architecture for wireless mobile networks where a cross-layered gossip-like protocol is the heart of the architecture. The goal of this architecture is to reduce the bandwidth consumption and at the same time, to provide more user participation flexibility. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed peer-to-peer architecture
