Efficient Interest Satisfaction in Content Centric Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

The Content Centric Networking (CCN) is an emerging paradigm that grounds networking primitives on content names rather than node locators. CCN targets seamless mobility, native muti-cast/multipath support, and content oriented security to better reflect the needs of today users. CCN could greatly improve the efficiency of content delivery also in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In such a context, we place our attention on the energy efficiency of caching content placement. Our objective is to save energy while achieving a high interest satisfaction rate by study the impact of certain parameters on caching strategy. To this end, we come up with a collaborative on path caching strategy that exploits the node degree and its distance from the source. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our approach achieves a energy efficiency compared to a LCE (Leave Copy Everywhere) while ensuring a good cahe hit then an important interest satosfaction rate.
