In this paper, we propose the mobile P2P structure supporting content searches for mobile peers efficiently. The proposed mobile P2P structure is a 3-tier structure which consists of a mobile peer, a mobile super peer, and a stationary super peer to reduce the content search cost of mobile P2P service. For content searches, mobile peer searches content in the communication range and performs hierarchical content searches which is using mobile super peer, stationary super peer for expansion of query region. In order to support hierarchial content searches and the continuity of services according to peer mobilities, peer's join/leave processes are explicitly stored by supporting message structures to the upper layer It is shown through experimental evaluation that the proposed structure improves about 32% contents search performance over the existing 2-tier structure. Since it also reduces the messages transferred to the stationary super peers, it reduced about 25% search loads of them.

In this paper, we have designed the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework using mobile agents to share efficiently resources as media file. Most of the P2P applications are used on the wire network. We propose the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework. Proposed P2P platform is based on JXTA of Sun Microsystems. But JXTA is pure peer-to-peer network model, so it sends message other peers as broadcast style to request resources. In this way, there are some problems as massage overload, bandwidth loss, etc. In order to solve this problem, we propose a hybrid peer-to-peer network model using mobile agent. Proposed scheme also solve existing hybrid pEp model's flaws which have the delay and low rate due to concentrated server. In proposed scheme, mobile agents that have autonomy and mobility are used to search the location of resources. Besides, mobile agents could solve the loss problem of the search result. To improve P2P QoS(Quality of Service), we could monitor peer's state information using PIP(Peer Information Protocol) of JXTA.

Peer-to-Peer(P2P) systems are generally classified into two categories; hybrid and pure P2P. Hybrid systems have a single central index server keeping the details of shared information, so that undesirable effects such as heavy load on that server and lack of fault-tolerance can be caused. Pure P2P causes the other problems such as message flooding and scalability although it shows high degree of fault-tolerance. Recently, mobile agent-based distributed computing has been receiving wide attention for its potential to support disconnected operations, high asynchrony, and thus saving network bandwidth. In this paper, a new scheme of peer coordination is proposed for a decentralized P2P network with self-organizing structure. We deployed mobile agents for incorporating the advantages of usage of mobile agents into our P2P network. Proposed P2P network has both advantages of hybrid and pure P2P. The problems of heavy load on the server and lack of fault-tolerance are improved by using multiple special peers called super-peers. And the problems of pure P2P can be reduced by using mobile agents.

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.

As the wireless network technologies and the capability of the mobile terminals are evolving, advanced peer to peer applications for mobile users are attracting interests. In this paper, we propose the mobile P2P communication platform(MPCP) which provides transparency to the wireless network technologies and solutions to the limited resources of the mobile terminals. MPCP classifies the connection into two levels: a virtual channel and a session. A virtual channel is the network layer connection between the terminals whereas a session is the application layer connection. MPCP classifies the sessions into four types and applies different scheduling priority and data processing policies such as segmentation and reassembly. It selects proper wireless network technologies depending on the distance between the communication endpoints. To acquire dynamically changed access address, we harness the Session Initiation Protocol. We implemented MPCP on embedded Linux simulator and utilized the implementation in mobile P2P service development. For the quantitative analysis, we compared the performance of MPCP with that of ftp. Regardless of the number of simultaneous sessions, MPCP maintains the relative performance.

Despite the growing amount of mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) payment applications available on mobile app stores, these applications are still in their infancy and have yet to see mass adoption. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the adoption of such mobile P2P payment applications by using a large-scale data set based on the tracking of users' actual mobile application usage behavior. Our main findings reveal that the duration of each session that users use of traditional bank application has a significant relationship with their adoption of mobile P2P payment applications. In addition, we explore the social aspect of such mobile P2P payment applications by analyzing their social network applications usage and found that the amount of social network service applications used and usage duration positively impacted one's adoption of mobile P2P payment applications. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders of mobile P2P payment solution providers as well as intermediaries/banks who provide their own payment applications to their customers.

Mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have recently got in the limelight of the research community that is striving to build efficient and effective mobile content addressable networks. Along this line of research, we propose a new peer-to-peer file sharing protocol suited to mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). The main ingredients of our protocol are network coding and mobility assisted data propagation, i.e., single-hop communication. We argue that network coding in combination with single-hop communication allows P2P file sharing systems in MANET to operate in a more efficient manner and helps the systems to deal with typical MANET issues such as dynamic topology and intermittent connectivity as well as various other issues that have been disregarded in previous MANET P2P researches such as addressing, node/user density, non-cooperativeness, and unreliable channel. Via simulation, we show that our P2P protocol based on network coding and single-hop communication allows shorter file downloading delays compared to an existing MANET P2P protocol.

An ubiquitous environment has features like peer-to-peer and nomadic environments. Such features can be represented by peer-to-peer systems and mobile ad-hoc networks. P2P systems and MANETs share similar features, appealing for implementing P2P systems in MANET environment. However, if a P2P system designed for wired networks was applied to mobile ad-hoc environment, its performance was not good enough. Subsequently, this paper proposes a P2P system to improve performance using cross-layer design and the goodness of a node as a peer by using routing metric and P2P metric to choose favorable peers to connect. It also utilizes proactive approach for distributing peer information. The simulation results showed that the proposed system produced better performance in query success rate, query response time and energy consumption by reducing the routing path length.

최근 모바일 단말의 사용과 그에 관련된 제품의 개발이 급증하고 있는 관계로 이와 관련된 많은 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) 연구들이 진행 중이다. 특히, Mobile Ad-Hoc 네트워킹 환경에서의 P2P 방식에 대한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, Flooding 방식의 메시지 전송은, 파일 탐색 시 Query 메시지 가 기하급수 적으로 증가할 수 있다. 이러한 메시지 전송은 센서 네트워크에서는 전력의 급격한 소모를 가져와 네트워크의 유지를 할 수 없게 하는 등의 오버헤드를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 P2P 파일 검색에서의 메시지 전송수를 줄이기 위해 Mobile Ad-Hoc Network 환경에서 Peer를 Parent Peer(PPR)와 Child Peer(CPR)로 구분화하여 그룹화를 시키고 그룹을 Peer로 둔 P2P 네트워크를 구성하였다. 또한, 그룹 안에서 발생하는 CPR들의 가입과 탈퇴를 관리하여 오버헤드 발생을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다.

모바일 기기 사용이 급증함에 따라 모바일환경에서 이루어지는 P2P방식 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 모바일환경에서의 P2P방식이 지닌 peer들 사이의 multi-broadcasting 방식의 문제점을 보완하고, 새로운 routing table을 구축하기 위해 peer들을 2개의 계층으로 구분하였다. 즉, peer들을 super peer들과 각 super peer에 의해 관리되는 sub peer들로 구분하였다. 파일의 탐색과 전송은 super peer들이 관리하므로, 기존의 불필요한 multi-broadcasting 방식을 피할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 네트워크를 위한 peer의 계층화 작업을 설계하였다. MIS(Maximal Independent Set)알고리즘을 이용하여 peer들의 계층화 작업을 외부의 도움 없이 peer들간의 통신으로 할 수 있게 만들었다. 이처럼 peer들을 super peer와 sub peer로 구분하면 불필요한 broadcasting을 피할 수 있어 시스템 성능이 향상되며, 이를 실험을 통하여 증명하였다.
