Topology Control Using Multi-Dimensional Context Parameters for Mobile P2P Networks

Enhancements of transmission speed and mobilenode capability in wireless access networks enable people to watch movies and share large files with friends via their personal mobile devices. Considering the increased demand for such services in the next five to ten years, the authors will need to introduce P2P architectures to mobile networks to handle the large number of requests from mobile nodes. However, in mobile P2P networks, since negative effects caused by instable links and high leave rates are propagated to down-stream nodes, it is difficult to ensure service quality and long service lifetime.
