- Abstract
- Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) consist of a collection of wireless mobile devices dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. File sharing is a popular used application, which has important status in MANETs. File sharing in MANETs is mainly based on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network. And a P2P file sharing system generally consists of a search algorithm and a file transfer protocol in which search algorithm attracts a lot of attention. In this paper, we overview and analyze the recently researches about file sharing algorithms. We categorize them into four categories: the DHT-based methods, flooding-based methods, advertisement-based methods and social-based methods according to different searching method. We present a comprehensive up to date survey of these methods. Furthermore, we analyze some challenging issues which inspire the future work.
