In mobile communication, mobile services [MSs] (e.g., phone calls, short/multimedia messages, and Internet data) incur a cost to both mobile users (MUs) and mobile service providers (MSPs). The proposed model MobPrice consists of dynamic data pricing schemes for mobile communication in order to achieve optimal usage of MSs at minimal prices. MobPrice inspires MUs to subscribe MSs with flexibility of data sharing and intra-peer exchanges, thereby reducing overall cost. The main contributions of MobPrice are three-fold. First, it proposes a novel k-level data-pricing (kDP) scheme for MSs. Second, it extends the kDP scheme with the notion of service-sharing-based pricing schemes to a collaborative peer-to-peer data-pricing (pDP) scheme and a cluster-based data-pricing (cDP) scheme to incorporate the notion of 'cluster' (made up of two or more MUs) in mobile communication. Third, our performance study shows that the proposed schemes are indeed effective in maximizing MS subscriptions and minimizing MS's price/user.

Information security reports four types of basic attacks on information. One of the attacks is named as fabrication. Even though mobile devices and applications are showing its maturity in terms of performance, security and ubiquity, location-based applications still faces challenges of quality of service, privacy, integrity, authentication among mobile devices and hence mobile users associated with the devices. There is always a continued fear as how location information of users or IoT appliances is used by third party LB Service providers. Even adversary or malicious attackers get hold of location information in transit or fraudulently hold this information. In this paper, location information fabrication scenarios are presented after knowing basic model of information attacks. Peer-to-Peer broadcast model of location privacy is proposed. This document contains introduction to fabrication, solutions to such threats, management of fabrication mitigation in collaborative or peer to peer location privacy and its cost analysis. There are various infrastructure components in Location Based Services such as Governance Server, Point of interest POI repository, POI service, End users, Intruders etc. Various algorithms are presented and analyzed for fabrication management, integrity, and authentication. Moreover, anti-fabrication mechanism is devised in the presence of trust. Over cost analysis is done for anti-fabrication management due to nature of various cryptographic combinations.

와이브로, HSDPA, 블루투스 등 새로 무선 네트워크 기술의 등장과 더불어 모바일 단말기의 성능이 향상되면서, 모바일 단말간 Peer-to-peer 응용 프로그램에 대한 관심과 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그룹 사용자들 간에 P2P 서비스 개발을 지원하며 무선 네트워크 기술에 대한 투명성을 제공하는 플랫폼으로 MPCP(Mobile P2P Communication Platform)을 제안한다. MPCP는 연결 설정 부담을 줄이기 위해 단말 간의 연결에 해당하는 가상 채널과 응용 프로그램 간의 연결이라는 세션으로 연결의 개념을 구분하고, 응용 프로그램의 특성에 따라 세션을 크게 네 가지로 종류를 구분하고 서로 다른 우선 순위와 데이타 처리 정책을 적용한다. 통신 대상과의 거리에 따라 적절한 무선 네트워크 기술을 선택하여 연결을 설정하며, Session Initiation Protocol을 활용하여 동적으로 변하는 연결 대상의 주소 정보를 획득한다. 임베디드 리눅스 시뮬레이터 환경에서 MPCP를 구현하였으며, 상위 서비스 개발 플랫폼과 연동하여 모바일 그룹 P2P 서비스 개발에 적용하였다. 정량적인 성능을 평가하기 위해 동시 세션 수를 증가시켜 가면서 단순한 FTP와의 성능을 비교한 결과, 세션 수의 증가에 영향을 받지 않고 성능이 유지되는 것을 관찰하였다.

In this paper, we have designed the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework using mobile agents to share efficiently resources as media file. Most of the P2P applications are used on the wire network. We propose the integrated wire and wireless P2P framework. Proposed P2P platform is based on JXTA of Sun Microsystems. But JXTA is pure peer-to-peer network model, so it sends message other peers as broadcast style to request resources. In this way, there are some problems as massage overload, bandwidth loss, etc. In order to solve this problem, we propose a hybrid peer-to-peer network model using mobile agent. Proposed scheme also solve existing hybrid pEp model's flaws which have the delay and low rate due to concentrated server. In proposed scheme, mobile agents that have autonomy and mobility are used to search the location of resources. Besides, mobile agents could solve the loss problem of the search result. To improve P2P QoS(Quality of Service), we could monitor peer's state information using PIP(Peer Information Protocol) of JXTA.

본 논문에서는 이동 피어의 콘텐츠 탐색을 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 이동 P2P 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 이동 P2P 구조는 이동 피어의 탐색 비용을 감소시키기 위해 이동 피어, 이동 슈퍼 피어, 고정 슈퍼 피어로 구성된 3계층 구조이다. 이동 피어가 콘텐츠 탐색을 수행하기 위해서는 통신 가능한 피어로부터 콘텐츠를 찾고 질의영역 확장을 위해 이동 슈퍼 피어, 고정 슈퍼 피어를 이용한 계층적 콘텐츠 탐색을 수행한다. 계층적 콘텐츠 탐색, 피어 이동성에 따른 서비스 연속성을 보장하기 위해 이동 피어의 가입/탈퇴 과정은 이동성을 지원하는 메시지 구조에 의해 명시적으로 상위 피어에 저장한다. 실험 평가 결과 제안하는 구조는 기존의 2계층 구조 보다 콘텐츠 탐색 속도가 약 32% 향상되었고 고정 슈퍼 피어로 전송되는 메시지를 감소시켜 고정 슈퍼 피어 탐색 부하를 약 25% 감소시켰다.

The fear that location privacy may be compromised greatly hinders the development of location-based service. Accordingly, some schemes based on the distributed architecture in peer-to-peer network for location privacy protection are proposed. Most of them assume that mobile terminals are mutually trusted, but this does not conform to realistic scenes, and they cannot make requirements for the level of location privacy protection. Therefore, this paper proposes a scheme for location attribute-based security authentication and private sharing data group, so that they trust each other in peer-to-peer network and the trusted but curious mobile terminal cannot access the initiator's query request. A new identifier is designed to allow mobile terminals to customize the protection strength. In addition, the caching mechanism is introduced considering the cache capacity, and a cache replacement policy based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed to reduce communications with location-based service server for achieving location privacy protection. Experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Despite the growing amount of mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) payment applications available on mobile app stores, these applications are still in their infancy and have yet to see mass adoption. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the adoption of such mobile P2P payment applications by using a large-scale data set based on the tracking of users' actual mobile application usage behavior. Our main findings reveal that the duration of each session that users use of traditional bank application has a significant relationship with their adoption of mobile P2P payment applications. In addition, we explore the social aspect of such mobile P2P payment applications by analyzing their social network applications usage and found that the amount of social network service applications used and usage duration positively impacted one's adoption of mobile P2P payment applications. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders of mobile P2P payment solution providers as well as intermediaries/banks who provide their own payment applications to their customers.

모바일 기기 사용이 급증함에 따라 모바일환경에서 이루어지는 Peer-to-Peer(P2P)방식에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 모바일환경에서의 P2P방식이 지닌 peer들 사이의 broadcasting 방식인 'flooding'의 문제점을 보완하고, 새로운 routing table을 구축하기 위해 peer들을 2개의 계층으로 구분하였다. 즉, peer 들을 super peer들과 각 super peer에 의해 관리되는 sub-peer들로 구분하였다. 파일의 탐색과 전송은 Super peer들이 관리하므로, 기존의 불필요한 multi-broadcasting 방식을 피할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 super peer의 개념을 이용한 두 가지의 모바일 P2P 시스템을 제안한다. 첫 번째 시스템은 영역을 일정한 크기로 나누어 각각의 구역마다 super peer를 가지도록 한다. 두 번째 시스템은 자신에게 연결된 이웃 peer의 수를 계산하여 가장 많은 이웃 peer를 가진 peer부터 순서대로 super peer가 되도록 한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 P2P 시스템들은 이중 계층구조로 peer들을 구분하여, 될 수 있는 대로 상충의 super peer들 사이의 메시지 교환이 이루어지게 함으로써 broadcasting을 피한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템들의 성능 향상을 확인하기 위하여, 메시지의 수를 측정하는 실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템들이 기존의 시스템보다 평균 $1.2{\sim}1.6$배 향상되었음을 보였다.

The growth of Internet technologies and the widespread use of mobile devices have been paving the way for the increasing use of conferencing services. Two types of systems have been designed to provide conferencing services: 1) a conferencing system using session control over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and 2) an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) conferencing system. The IMS conferencing system was developed to adapt to a server-based centralized system, whereas the benefits of the P2P operational model in providing such conference services are widely acknowledged. However, each system provides conferencing services only to its own users. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an interworking model to support multimedia conferencing service between the P2P environment and IMS networks. We also introduce protocol architecture and some service scenarios. To verify this system model and the design architecture, we perform an actual implementation and show experienced test results.

The popularization of streaming networks and mobile devices brings a new kind of network called mobile peer-assisted streaming network. In this network, service provider not only offers downloading services, but also pre-pushes resources to users for caching. Users can download their demanded resources while working as servers for uploading the cached data. Also the mobile characteristic makes high package losing probability in this network. So we study how the service provider pre-pushes or the user downloads resources efficiently and effectively while considering the package losing in this paper. We build utility models for service provider and user, and solve the models using Bellman's theory to achieve Nash Equilibrium which shows the service provider's optimal pre-pushing speed and user's optimal downloading speed. The numerical simulation demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed pre-pushing and downloading scheme by comparing to the traditional scheme.
