Abstract
Mobile networks differ from their wireline counterparts mainly by the high costs for air transmissions and by the mobility of the users. A new entity, denoted as the crawling peer, is suggested in order to optimize the resource mediation mechanism for a mobile P2P file sharing application.
In a former work, we have investigated the performance of a crawling peer by means of simulations. Now,
we show a time-discrete analysis of the crawling peer's performance in order to investigate different
scenarios and to enable parameter-sensitivity studies for further improvements of the crawling peer's strategy.
