Content Distribution Mechanism in an All-Sender-All-Receiver Ad Hoc Network

모든 Peer가 송수신자인 Ad Hoc 네트워크에서의 자료 분배 방법에 대한 고찰

Mobile device users are sensitive to pay telecommunication charge for downloading Internet data, because the cost is proportional to the amount of data received. If there are device users who want to download the same content, they may cooperate each other to form an ad hoc network and share the partially downloaded content in order to reduce the amount of data downloaded. Each mobile device, called a peer, downloads a specific portion of the whole content using fee-based telecommunication channel, and exchanges the portion with other peers with free ad hoc channel in order that all participating peers are able to reconstruct the whole content in this situation, al1 participating peers become senders and receivers at the same time. In order to distribute the partial content to other peers, the ad hoc network requires a control led distribution mechanism. This paper introduces the per-peer-based distribution method in which one designated peer can transmit partial data to its neighbors at a time. Simulation results show that 90$\%$ of the telecommunication cost is saved with as few as 10 peers .
