Edge Cache-based Intelligent Content Delivery in Information-Centric Wireless Networks

Abstract

As mobile data traffic increases explosively, content delivery issue in the Internet is a growing concern. In order to fundamentally solve this problem, information-centric networking has recently been proposed and applied to wireless networks. However, the influence of edge caches and related decision schemes on the performance of content delivery is largely ignored in the existing works. In this poster, we propose an edge cache-based intelligent content delivery solution to improve network performance in information-centric wireless networks, where a smart router makes caching decisions by analyzing the information of content popularity, users’ mobility and social relation, and its connected access points update cache status of network contents according to the adopted decisions.
