Information diffusion in a single-hop mobile peer-to-peer network

In this paper a simple and novel way of modeling the process of information diffusion in single-hop mobile peer-to-peer networks is presented. In the model observation concentrates on areas where mobile nodes visit rather than mobility of each mobile node at a unit level. This gives more realistic results compared to the traditional pure random movement based models. Since the required technology to study this is not yet available, the results and conclusions are based on computer simulations.
