Effects of Content Popularity in the Performance of Content-Centric Opportunistic Networking: Analytical Approach and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile users are envisioned to exploit direct communication opportunities between their portable devices, in order to enrich the set of services they can access through cellular or wifi networks. Sharing contents of common interest or providing access to resources or services between peers can enhance a mobile node’s capabilities, offload the cellular network, and disseminate information to nodes without internet access. Interest patterns, i.e. how many nodes are interested in each content or service, as well as how many users can provide a content or service (availability) impact the performance and feasibility of envisioned applications. In this paper, we establish an analytical framework to study the effects of these factors on the delay and success probability of a content/service access request through opportunistic communication. We also apply our framework to the data offloading problem and provide insights for its optimization.

Research on the Energy-Efficient Caching Strategy in Content-Centric Networking
Due to the current explosion of the network traffic generated by content production and dissemination applications like popular video, Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has been the topic of recent research. In-network caching for CCN is expected to achieve an adaptive content delivery in the network and to reduce traffic by storing content data on each router. The impact of caching content on C...
متن کاملInformation-Centric Networking in Mobile and Opportunistic Networks
Information Centric Networking (ICN) as an emerging paradigm for the Future Internet has initially been rather focusing on bandwidth savings in wired networks, but there might also be some significant potential to support communication in mobile wireless networks as well as opportunistic network scenarios, where end systems have spontaneous but time-limited contact to exchange data. This chapte...
متن کاملEfficient content delivery through fountain coding in opportunistic information-centric networks
Opportunistic networks can increase network capacity, support collaborative downloading of content and offload traffic from a cellular to a cellular-assisted, device-to-device network. They can also support communication and content exchange when the cellular infrastructure is under severe stress and when the network is down or inaccessible. Fountain coding has been considered as especially sui...
متن کاملAnalysis of cognitive heuristics for content dissemination in opportunistic networks
When faced with large amounts of data, human brains are able to swiftly react to stimuli and assert relevance of discovered information, even under uncertainty and partial knowledge. These efficient decision-making abilities rely on socalled cognitive heuristics, which are rapid, adaptive, lightweight yet very effective schemes used by the brain to solve complex problems. In a content-centric f...
متن کاملAutomatic Hashtag Recommendation in Social Networking and Microblogging Platforms Using a Knowledge-Intensive Content-based Approach
In social networking/microblogging environments, #tag is often used for categorizing messages and marking their key points. Also, since some social networks such as twitter apply restrictions on the number of characters in messages, #tags can serve as a useful tool for helping users express their messages. In this paper, a new knowledge-intensive content-based #tag recommendation system is intr...
