Abstract

The performance of P2P content distribution in cellular networks depends highly on the cooperation and coordination of heterogeneous and often selfish mobile users. The major challenges are the identification of problems specifically arising in cellular mobile networks and the development of new cooperation strategies to overcome these problems. In this chapter, the authors review common cooperation strategies using multi-source downloads. They demonstrate the fundamental “last chunk” problem of typical strategies as used by eDonkey or BitTorrent. This is caused by the selfishness of users; however, an ordered chunk delivery evades this problem. In the coherent subsequent chapter “Cooperation Strategies for P2P Content Distribution in Cellular Mobile Networks: Considering Mobility and Heterogeneity”, the impact of mobility and vertical handover between heterogeneous wireless access technologies is investigated.
