Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network are an emerging research fielddue to the potential range of applications that they supportand for the problems they present due to their dynamic nature.Peer-to-peer is an example of a class of applicationsthat have recently been deployed on top of ad-hoc networks.In this paper we propose an approach based on context-awarenessto allow peer-to-peer applications to exploit informationon the underlying network context to achieve betterperformance and better group organization. Informationsuch as availability of resources, battery power, servicesin reach and relative distances can be used to improvethe routing structures of the peer-to-peer network, thus reducingthe routing overhead.
