I-CAN: Information-Centric Access Networking

Abstract

We present the Information-Centric Access Network (I-CAN) architecture, which is based on the publish-subscribe Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm, identifying how it accounts for specific characteristics of mobile and wireless access networks. We also present initial results from the testbed implementation of two application scenarios that exploit key features of the I-CAN architecture: secure publication proxy and multi-source mobile video streaming.
