Abstract
As the number of mobile device users increases, many researches on peer-to-peer(P2P) systems in mobile environments have been carried out. In this paper, we propose a couple of double-layered P2P file sharing systems to overcome the 'flooding' problem in previous mobile P2P systems. We classify peers into two groups, super peers and sub-peers to establish new routing tables. A super peer manages its sub-peers in the systems. The first proposed system partitions the service area into small cells, each of which is a square. Each super peer is located near the center of the square. The second system selects super peers which have the largest number of adjacent peers. As file transmission and file searches are managed mainly by super peers, unnecessary multi-broadcasting could be avoided. The experimental results show that the proposed systems outperform a typical file sharing system in terms of the amount of message traffic with about $1.2{\sim}1.6$ times improvement on the average.
