Due to the important developments in the area of wireless networks and mobile computing, P2P networks-based 3D streaming over thin mobile devices is starting to gain the interest of many research works. Nevertheless, one of the main challenges that need to be resolved is the supplying partner selection issue that consists of selecting the source that holds the required 3D data. The selection process can be easy to apply, however several criteria need to be taken into consideration, in order to improve the system performance. In this paper, we propose a two-level energy-based supplying partner protocol for mobile P2P 3D streaming, which we refer to as 2L-EB. Our proposed protocol is applied at two levels: the requester's side and the supplier's side. We then report on the performance evaluation we have obtained to evaluate our 2L-EB protocol using an extensive set of simulation experiments with the NS2 tool.
