Simulation Analysis of Moving Peer Influence on Location-Aware P2P Network

The importance of context-aware services has grown significantly and it is hoped to provide these services to mobile cellular phones. In this paper, we propose a platform that enables the provision of location-aware services to mobile phones. The number of mobile phones is huge and people mobile phones are always on the move. Thus the platform constructs an overlay network between clients for the mitigation server load and introduces the concept of peers moving to existing P2P network architecture. From a simulation analysis, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed platform and present the optimized policies for the overlay network.
