Abstract
In this chapter we present a dynamic approach to bridge cellular and
peer-to-peer network architectures, referred to as Cellular Controlled
Peer-to-Peer (CCP2P) communication. This approach goes beyond the concepts
used in composite networks, which focus mainly on coverage extension and data
relaying. In CCP2P networks, besides being connected to an outside world using
cellular links, a group of mobile devices in close proximity form a
cooperative cluster contributing their onboard capabilities and resources to
exploit them a more efficient way. Using peerto- peer technology in
combination with cellular networks, CCP2P has the potential to overcomemany
important limitations of current cellular networks. The main driver behind
such a concept is the short-range communication among mobile devices.
