An Information-Centric Network Caching Method Based on Popularity Rating and Topology Weighting
2022
Ubiquitous caching is a feature shared by all proposed information-centric network (ICN) architectures. Prioritising storage resources to popular content in the network is a proven way to guarantee hit rates, reduce the number of hops forwarded, and reduce user request latency. An ideal ICN caching mechanism should make the best use of relevant information such as content information, network state, and user requirements to achieve optimal selection and have the ability to adaptively adjust the decision cache content for dynamic scenarios. Since router nodes have limited cache space, it is then useless to accurately predict the popularity of the content with very low popularity, as this content has no chance of being cached. A more effective approach is to focus on content with high popularity that influences caching decisions. As for different nodes, they have different sets of popular content, and using this property, this paper designs a caching method based on the popularity hierarchy with topological weights. The method considers managing the cached content in nodes with a hierarchy of popularity and improving their distribution in terms of the importance of the nodes’ position in the network. Finally, the scheme is simulated by changing the parameter settings under different actual topologies on the simulation platform to confirm the feasibility of the scheme.
