Dynamic Adaptive Streaming (DAS) is widely used in video streaming because of its ability to cope with the network dynamics and terminal heterogeneity. Compared with AVC(advanced video coding), SVC(scalable video coding) can better adapt to network conditions, reduce server storage and improve users’ playback QoE. However, the present TCP/IP network is communication-oriented, focusing on addressing rather than content, which can not fully realize the potential of DAS and SVC. Named Data Networking (NDN) is a new network architecture that centers around content. Its name based routing, in-network caching, hop-by-hop forwarding and built-in multicast support naturally fits the pattern of DAS and SVC. As the last piece of jigsaw puzzle, coupled with DAS and SVC, NDN is believed to be able to provide better video streaming performance. In this paper, we proposed a customized SVC-aware cache and forwarding policy for ordinary NDN routers to support video streaming applications. Simulation results based on ndnSIM2.3 showed that the proposed policy can improve the average playback bitrate and reduce the video stall frequency as well as duration.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116936701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose ICNRL, a novel task-based NRL scheme for ICN. Based on the adjacency matrix generated by NRL, ICNRL can calculate the index threshold value to support the networking decision making of content-store (CS), pending information table (PIT), and forwarding information base (FIB), and therefore improves the management and processing capabilities of ICN.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"15 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113964716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with bitcoin-derived consensus mechanisms, Byzantine Fault-Tolerance (BFT) algorithms are more applicable for consortium blockchain. However, these algorithms work lies in the foundation that 3f + 1 nodes are required to tolerate only f faults, which results in high network traffic and cost. The hybrid fault model with Trusted Components (TC) assistance is proposed to reduce the minimum to 2f +1 and improve overall performance. In this paper, we firstly introduce the basic principles of BFT algorithms based on the hybrid fault model. Then we analyze different TC abstractions and implementation scenarios, and express our own choices. The general framework for BFT algorithms design choices and the applications of this model in blockchain are also discussed. Therefore, this paper aims to provide guidance for reasonable design of efficient BFT algorithms and application of TC assistance mechanism.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122103036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These applications require efficient synchronization among the end points with varying level of loss and delay tolerance. Also application specific requirements like throughput, end-to-end latency and mobility of end points impose even more stringency. IP based solutions often fail to meet these requirements due to lack of efficient multicast. In this paper we study this problem in the context of multi-party video conferencing system, and propose an information-centric solution based on content-centric networking (CCN). CCN, with its innate support for multicast delivery and service centricity, is used to deliver content and control state in a secure and reliable manner. We address the challenge of synchronizing participant states for a real-time experience through a media agnostic notification framework aided by service functions in the CCN network. Then, we implement a proof-of-concept testbed appropriate for this architecture and demonstrate its impact using scalability, QoE and reliability metrics.","PeriodicalId":243749,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st IEEE International Conference on Hot Information-Centric Networking (HotICN)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131779047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from traditional TCP/IP networking, any node that caching content can respond to a request for the content. This property makes it convenient that multiple providers deliver different chunks of a content to a requester concurrently, which can offer more reliable network services and better load balancing. However, it may impact quality of service (QoS) because traditional end-to-end QoS control cannot be performed in this scenario. In this paper, a Bandwidth-based QoS-aware Multisource Architecture (BQMA) is proposed for Information-Centric wireless multihop networks, which performs QoS control for multisource routing, forwarding, reservation procedure, and provider selection functions.

This paper proposes a blockchain-inspired event recording system for autonomous vehicles. Due to the inefficiency and limited usage of certain blockchain features designed for the traditional cryptocurrency applications, we design a new “proof of event” mechanism to achieve indisputable accident forensics by ensuring that event information is trustable and verifiable. Specifically, we propose a dynamic federation consensus scheme to verify and confirm the new block of event data in an efficient way without any central authority.
