An Optimum Replication Strategy for Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Network with P2P Data Sharing Settings
Tasquia Mizan, Samiul Islam, Saudi Arabia · 2014
Communication cost is a crucial concern in a 2- dimensional multi-hop mesh network (WMN) where storage spaces are uniformly distributed with P2P data sharing setting. To reduce communication cost, we aim to propose an optimal replication strategy at the participating nodes with P2P content caching scheme. We consider the send/receive rate based on read and write availability of a requested object (content or service) along with the access cost of that specific content/service. We studied other common replication strategies used in WMN environment and made a comparative analysis of those strategies with our proposed one. The outcome of that analysis depicts the effectiveness of our proposed strategy over others.
