A Gossip-based optimistic replication for efficient delay-sensitive streaming using an interactive middleware support system
While sharing resources the efficiency is substantially degraded as a result
of the scarceness of availability of the requested resources in a multiclient
support manner. These resources are often aggravated by many factors like the
temporal constraints for availability or node flooding by the requested
replicated file chunks. Thus replicated file chunks should be efficiently
disseminated in order to enable resource availability on-demand by the mobile
users. This work considers a cross layered middleware support system for
efficient delay-sensitive streaming by using each device's connectivity and
social interactions in a cross layered manner. The collaborative streaming is
achieved through the epidemically replicated file chunk policy which uses a
transition-based approach of a chained model of an infectious disease with
susceptible, infected, recovered and death states. The Gossip-based stateful
model enforces the mobile nodes whether to host a file chunk or not or, when no
longer a chunk is needed, to purge it. The proposed model is thoroughly
evaluated through experimental simulation taking measures for the effective
throughput Eff as a function of the packet loss parameter in contrast with the
effectiveness of the replication Gossip-based policy.Comment: IEEE Systems Journal 201
Under storage constraints of epidemic backup node selection using HyMIS architecture for data replication in mobile peer-to-peer networks
The attainment of high reliability and availability is very difficult to be achieved in very complex wireless infrastructureless networks. Reliability concept describes essentially the transmission characteristics of infrastructureless networks, such as packet loss probability, packet duplication, data misinsertion, and corruption of packets. Some other metrics nowadays, aggregate and contribute to the aggravation of end to end reliability. In this work a new scheme for end to end reliable file/resource sharing is studied, among mobile peer-to-peer users. The proposed scheme uses the Hybrid Mobile Infostation System (HyMIS) to maintain and enhance the reliability of file/resource sharing process among wireless devices. Under various storage constraints the epidemic backup node selection is adopted, merging the advantages of epidemic file dissemination through purely mobile Infostations, using the HyMIS architecture. Examination through simulation is performed, taking into account many newly introduced storage metrics, for the performance evaluation of the proposed scheme. These storage metrics are tuned into certain bounded values to enable high packet delivery ratio. Results show that this scheme under certain storage requirements offer a reliable and robust solution for sharing resources of any capacity in dynamic mobile peer-to-peer wireless environments
