Abstract
The field of mobile Peer-to-Peer networks (MP2P) has various forms and currently there exists no coherent view on what is understood by it. The term mobile emphasizes that nodes/peers in the network are mobile, and therefore need to be equipped with some kind of wireless communication technology. Examples of nodes include pedestrians with mobile devices [284] or vehicles with wireless communication capabilities [632]. Since all mobile Peer-to-Peer networks construct an overlay over an existing wireless network, implementations range from MP2P over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) [156] to MP2P over cellular based networks [299, 298].
