Structured peer-to-peer systems for telecommunications and mobile environments

The peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm not only allows end users to share own resources, but is also regarded as a new networking paradigm due to its robust, self-organizing character, abandoning infrastructure and relying on end-users equipment. In contrast to common fixed-line Internet file sharing P2P systems, in this paper, we address critical issues regarding scalable personal communications and heterogeneous mobile systems. We discuss challenges and present our solutions based on structured P2P.
