Towards Mobile Collaborative Autonomous Networks Using Peer-to-Peer Communication

Given the emerging technological development in the fields of telecommunication and smart mobile devices, the number of connected devices around the world is increasing rapidly. Moreover, the tendency to use these small devices is increasing steadily as their capabilities and efficiency increase. Progress in these areas has been an incentive and a reason for enhancing distributed systems, Internet of things and mobile collaborative computing. The advances in hardware and software technologies have necessitated the development of new communication standards adapted to devices constrained in resources in all areas, energy, computing power, memory and bandwidth. These communication standards have a crucial role in enhancing the IOT and other architectures of mobile collaborative computing such as Cloud, Fog, Edge, and Mobile Edge Computing. In this paper, we will review the current communication standards and protocols by showing its role in strengthening mobile communication networks in the different architectures of mobile collaborative computing and under the different circumstances. More specifically, we will illustrate, within a new proposed approach, how they can maintain an efficient connection even between mobile devices on the periphery and how they can establish autonomous mobile networks by using peer-to-peer communication via Wi-Fi Direct and other technologies.
