Efficient File Sharing by Multicast - P2P Protocol using Network Coding and Rank Based Peer Selection

In this work, we consider information dissemination and sharing in a highly dynamic peer-to-peer (P2P) communication network. In particular, we explore a network coding technique for transmission and a rank based peer selection (RBPS) method for network formation. The combined approach has been shown to improve information sharing and delivery to all users when considering the challenges imposed by the dynamic wireless network environments.
