    Energy cost model for frequent item set discovery in unstructured P2P networks
    (Springer, London, 2012) Cem, E.; Demirkaya, Ender; Esiner, E.; Ozaydin, B.; Ozkasap O.
    For large scale distributed systems, designing energy efficient protocols and services has become as significant as considering conventional performance criteria like scalability, reliability, fault-tolerance and security. We consider frequent item set discovery problem in this context. Although it has attracted attention due to its extensive applicability in diverse areas, there is no prior work on energy cost model for such distributed protocols. In this paper, we develop an energy cost model for frequent item set discovery in unstructured P2P networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that proposes an energy cost model for a generic peer using gossip-based communication. As a case study protocol, we use our gossip-based approach ProFID for frequent item set discovery. After developing the energy cost model, we examine the effect of protocol parameters on energy consumption using our simulation model on PeerSim and compare push-pull method of ProFID with the well-known push-based gossiping approach. Based on the analysis results, we reformulate the upper bound for the peer's energy cost. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Limited.

    A path-quality-aware peer-to-peer file sharing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks: Wi-Share
    (IEEE, 2009-09) Karasabun, Efe; Ertemür, Doğuş; Sarıyıldız, Seyhun; Tekkalmaz, Metin; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim
    Peer-to-peer networks are rather well-studied and currently there are numerous systems based on peer-to-peer principles running on the Internet. On the other hand peer-to-peer networks for mobile ad-hoc networks have attracted attention only in the recent years. In this paper, we propose a novel peer-to-peer file sharing system particularly designed for mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed system, namely Wi-Share, has both network and application layer aspects enabling efficient search and download of the shared files. Wi-Share uses reactive routing for the search operation combined with source discovery and uses the routing tables constructed during the search operation for the download operation. In order to increase the overall efficiency of the file sharing in the network, Wi-Share applies techniques to reduce the required traffic and to increase efficient parallelism of the download operation. These techniques include filtering search results, preferring the higher quality routing paths, using partitioned download scheme and allowing the nodes that have joined to the network recently to contribute to the ongoing downloads. Wi-Share is implemented to work on mobile computers and the results of several experiments are also presented in the paper. © 2009 IEEE.
