Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce a BitTorrent extension, namely Mobile-BitTorrent, which is specifically designed for MANETs that are composed of resource-constrained devices. Mobile-BitTorrent seeks to decrease file completion time by only exploiting application-layer strategies and the 1-hop broadcast nature of wireless communications. Preliminary simulation results show that Mobile-BitTorrent is able to decrease file completion time by up to 30% compared with that of the classical BitTorrent protocol.
