An increasing number of mobile applications share location-dependent information, from collaborative applications and social networks to location-based games. For such applications, peer-to-peer architectures where mobile devices share information directly may grant lower latency and reduce server load. In this work, we propose a framework to support these applications, providing location-dependent replication. Data has an associated location and is replicated in the mobile devices that show interest and are close to that location. Our proposal combines peer-to-peer synchronisation among mobile devices and replication at edge servers. Our preliminary results are promising.
