Content Sharing for Mobile Devices
Rudi Ball

TL;DR
This paper introduces the Market Contact Protocol (MCP), a decentralized peer-to-peer system designed for scalable, cost-effective content sharing among mobile devices using opportunistic networking and social context.
Contribution
The paper presents MCP, a novel decentralized protocol for mobile content sharing, and evaluates its effectiveness through simulation in highly mobile environments.
Findings
MCP enables efficient content sharing in mobile ad-hoc networks.
Simulation results show MCP's scalability and effectiveness.
MCP reduces reliance on centralized systems for content distribution.
Abstract
The miniaturisation of computing devices has seen computing devices become increasingly pervasive in society. With this increased pervasiveness, the technologies of small computing devices have also improved. Mobile devices are now capable of capturing various forms of multimedia and able to communicate wirelessly using increasing numbers of communication techniques. The owners and creators of local content are motivated to share this content in ever increasing volume; the conclusion has been that social networks sites are seeing a revolution in the sharing of information between communities of people. As load on centralised systems increases, we present a novel decentralised peer-to-peer approach dubbed the Market Contact Protocol (MCP) to achieve cost effective, scalable and efficient content sharing using opportunistic networking (pocket switched networking), incentive,…
