Next generation peer-information systems are envisioned to be characterized by an invisible and ubiquitous lookup application support which should be easily accessible by users in a transparent and location-independent reliable fashion. Therefore, the traditional end-to-end delays should be bounded and minimized in order to offer significant increase in performance and reliability in today's Mobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) systems. Many parameters that affect the end-to-end delay for efficient collaborative streaming, deal with the temporal characteristics (connectivity and mobility constraints, etc). These parameters are significantly degrading the end-to-end communicational survivability and resources' availability. In this work a scheme for collaborative replication is proposed using community oriented relay regions for MP2P streaming. The proposed model considers a combined community oriented neighboring feedback approach with selective delay-centric replication taking into account the social interactions for assigning available resources to nodes that are communicating via intraclustered links. The collaborative streaming is achieved through the outsourcing file chunk policy for N-hop replicated sources and the combined community oriented model. The presented scheme is thoroughly evaluated through experimental simulation which takes measures for the end-to-end reliability and the latency of the broadcast schedule when delivering delay-sensitive MP2P streams.
178Community Oriented Neighboring Feedback for Efficient End-to-End Delay-Sensitive MP2P Streaming via Temporal Relay-based Replication
INTRODUCTIONMobile Peer-to-Peer (MP2P) systems have gained great success in many popular Internet applications such as file sharing, Voice over IP (VoIP) and video streaming services due to the inherent scalability nature and the 3As (Anywhere, Anytime, Anything) application deployment. Based on the communication reliability and the availability of any requested resources by other nodes (in a fully dynamically changing MP2P system), each device should be aware of certain topological parameters in order to prolong the wireless connectivity and transmission's lifetime. MP2P devices are characterized by bounded resource sharing reliability. Since mobile hosts move freely, network partitioning occurs frequently, and thus data accessibility is relatively lower than that in conventional wired networks. Particularly in infrastructureless wireless networks when acting as a mean for disseminating files and enabling the ondemand file sharing transfers, there are many problems that should be faced along with the mobility characteristics.Dealing with the asymmetry characteristics in wireless devices and the scarceness in wireless resource sharing availability, MP2P networks should form the topology dynamically and in way that the network formation will be maintained to host the end-to-end resource availability between hosts. Multimedia streaming in such environments can face reliability problems where usually available resources...
