Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) resource sharing between mobile devices in Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) hot-spots environment is a challenging problem. This would require an infrastructure with automated process for registering new mobile devices, as well as authentication and authorisation of existing devices. Further, issues such as maintenance, and updating the state information, as devices join and leave the P2P network; optimising route selection and protection of the existing mobile devices from malicious devices are crucial. To address these issues, we propose a generalised architecture and a dynamic protocol for effective and optimal file transfer between devices. We use quality of service (QoS) capacity-to-hop count ratio, routing algorithm, to find an optimal mobile device for a service request. The goal and contribution of this paper is to provide a scalable, robust and reliable architecture incorporating QoS; effective and optimal communication for P2P networks in a cooperative manner.
