Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of data consistency on mobile peer-to-peer (MP2P) systems (or MP2P networks). The considered MP2P system is based on a mobile ad-hoc network, where the energy and connectivity on the mobile devices are limited. Since different mobile nodes may store copies of shared information, data synchronization on an MP2P system becomes crucial and challenging due to frequent disconnection and change on network topology caused by node mobility. We propose an effective approach to improving the performance of data synchronization with a dynamic inverted data indexing structure and group-based data-driven consistency management. The proposed approach can effectively synchronize the data items without using a central cache node in each group (or cluster) and perform well in terms of the coverage of successfully synchronized nodes and the number of redundant messages. Last, the proposed approach is validated through extensive simulation experiments.
