Summary:This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for P2P file sharing systems based on WiMAX mesh mode and Wi-Fi technologies. Wireless networks in our system are hierarchically divided into three layers: Wi-Fi based wireless local area networks under a subscriber station; the mesh network of subscriber stations under a base station; the network of base stations. File lookup procedure may go through three steps: the requesting end host firstly looks up for the requested file within it's neighbor end hosts under the same subscribe station; if fails, then it sends lookup messages to the nearest subscriber stations in the mesh network following to a changed dynamic source routing protocol; if both the steps fail, then the requesting end host searches the requested file through the chord-based base stations' overlay. By statistical analysis and simulations, we prove that our layered P2P file sharing system can reduce the number of lookup messages in physical networks and prevent over expenses of precious bandwidth in wireless metropolitan area networks
