Efficient Betweenness Based Content Caching and Delivery Strategy in Wireless Networks
share
In this work, we propose a content caching and delivery strategy to maximize throughput capacity in cache-enabled wireless networks. To this end, efficient betweenness (EB), which indicates the ratio of content delivery paths passing through a node, is first defined to capture the impact of content caching and delivery on network traffic load distribution. Aided by EB, throughput capacity is shown to be upper bounded by the minimal ratio of successful delivery probability (SDP) to EB among all nodes. Through effectively matching nodes' EB with their SDP, the proposed strategy improves throughput capacity with low computation complexity. Simulation results show that the gap between the proposed strategy and the optimal one (obtained through exhausted search) is kept smaller than 6
