A Study on Middleware of P2P in the Mobile Computing Environment

Based on Peer-to-Peer (P2P), combining the characteristics of mobile computing environment, a structure of mobile P2P network which is adapted to mobile computing environment is put forward. The core idea of this structure is that the mobile embedded devices are indirectly connected to the P2P network with Agent, and then share their resources each other through the P2P network. Then, based on the network structure, a structure of mobile P2P middleware is designed. It is composed of Agent and mobile client. Finally, based on the P2P of JXTA and J2ME mobile computing platform, a file-sharing experiment between two mobile embedded devices validates the effectiveness and practicability of the middleware structure.
