Mobile Peer to Peer (P2P) (eBook)

Explore the potential of mobile P2P networks

Mobile Peer to Peer (P2P): A Tutorial Guide discusses the
potential of wireless communication among mobile devices forming
mobile peer to peer networks. This book provides the basic
programming skills required to set up wireless communication links
between mobile devices, offering a guide to the development process
of mobile peer to peer networks.

Divided into three sections, Part I briefly introduces the
basics of wireless technologies, mobile architectures, and
communication protocols. Detailed descriptions of Bluetooth,
IEEE802.11, and cellular communication link are given and applied
to potential communication architectures. Part II focuses on
programming for individual wireless technologies, and gives an
understanding of the programming environment for individual
wireless technologies. In addition, Part III provides advanced
examples for mobile peer to peer networks.

* Introduces the basics of short-range/wireless technologies
(such as Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN), mobile
architectures, and communication protocols

* Explains the basic programming environment and the basic
wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi
(IEEE802.11), and cellular communication examples

* Discusses the advancements in meshed networks, mobile social
networks and cooperative networks

* Provides detailed examples of mobile peer to peer communication
including, social mobile networking, cooperative wireless
networking, network coding, and mobile gaming

* Includes an accompanying website containing programming
examples as source code

Mobile Peer to Peer (P2P): A Tutorial Guideis an
invaluable reference for advanced students on wireless/mobile
communications courses, and researchers in various areas of mobile
communications (mashups, social mobile networks, network coding,
etc.) Undergraduate students and practitioners wishing to learn how
to build mobile peer to peer networks will also find this book of
interest.
