<p>InterDigital&rsquo;s M2M team was recently published in the prestigious IEEE Communications Magazine with their article, &ldquo;<a class="offsite" href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6829942">CA-P2P: Context-Aware Proximity-Based Peer-to-Peer Wireless Communications</a>.&rdquo; The work was co-authored by Chonggang Wang, Qing Li, Hongkun Li, Paul Russell, Jr. and Zhuo Chen, all engineers at InterDigital.</p>
<p>The authors argue that CA-P2P may be a viable solution to both existing and new proximity-based services, including commercial applications such as advertising as well as emergency/disaster relief, when centralized networks may become unavailable.&nbsp; Taking various levels of context into account during the P2P connection results in quick, efficient peer discovery and peer association. This will become increasingly important in the emerging <a href="http://www.interdigital.com/network-of-networks#.U6mSkGOv54A">fifth generation</a>, with growing numbers of small cell and D2D communications becoming common.</p>
<p>The <a class="offsite" href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=6829942">paper</a> delves into the benefits and challenges of CA-P2P and offers performance evaluations of simulations as evidence.
