An Implementation of Lightweight Message Transport Mechanism for P2P Agent Platform on Ad-Hoc Networks

In this paper, we propose a lightweight message transport mechanism for PIAX which can achieves scalable discovery and automatic cooperation of distributed services by the combination of active agents and resource discovery function of the overlay network. Realizing ad-hoc cooperation of PIAX, we can actualize the ubiquitous services. However, PIAX messages are too large for ad-hoc communication band. So, to reduce the PIAX message size is required. To reduce message size, we propose a differential condition specification for the discovery messaging and dynamic method ID table sharing. We have implemented the mechanism on a small Linux device with ZigBee communication board and confirmed the effectiveness of our proposal.
