Information-centric mobile caching network frameworks and caching optimization: a survey <s> Information-centric mobile caching and cloud computing <s> Cloud computing is a trend which facilitates the development of the distributed applications and reduces the cost of the deployments, and it has impacted the IT industry a lot. Cloud computing depends a lot on the characteristics of the network, as the remote processing and large data center are vital for cloud computing. And the evolution of the networks will play an important role for the evolution of cloud computing. As many problems are emerging in cloud computing, such as data security, data availability and so on. In this paper, we introduce the named data as an element for cloud computing networks and propose the corresponding cloud computing infrastructure which will evolve a lot over some existing problems. <s> BIB001 </s> Information-centric mobile caching network frameworks and caching optimization: a survey <s> Information-centric mobile caching and cloud computing <s> For more than a decade, the inherent drawbacks of current Internet have been calling for its revolutionary designs. The end-to-end model, which was designed for special data transmission in the early age of Internet, is causing troubles everywhere in nowadays content based web services. Consequently, Information Centric Network (ICN) is proposed to solve these problems. As the most permanent clean-slate approach for next generation Internet, ICN has attracted much attention from network researchers in the passed few years. This survey focuses on the current progress of the research work in ICN. It investigates various key aspects such as naming and routing schemes, in-network caching policies, etc., and highlights the benefit of implementing ICN, open research issues and new interests in this domain. <s> BIB002 </s> Information-centric mobile caching network frameworks and caching optimization: a survey <s> Information-centric mobile caching and cloud computing <s> With ever growing mobile Internet and the explosion of its applications, users are experiencing abundant services from different content providers via different network service providers in the heterogeneous network. The information-centric network (ICN) advocates getting rid of the current host-centric network protocol because information dissemination rather than end-to-end communication contributes to the majority of today's network traffic. Furthermore, it is better for network entities to converge as a whole in order to take advantage of open, scalable, and smart traffic transmission. The cloud radio access network is one of the emerging architecture evolutions on the wireless side for easier infrastructure deployment and network management. Therefore, when the information-centric network meets the C-RAN in the Het-Net, it is worthwhile and consequential to integrate ICN protocol with C-RAN architecture to achieve more efficient communication and information management. Moreover, SDN has been recognized as another promising architecture evolution to achieve the flexibility and reconfigurability of dense HetNets; its inherent advantage lies in global uniform control of the wired network. Thus, any of ICN, C-RAN and SDN is the complementary to the others. In this article, we contribute to a fresh proposal for and elaboration of the integration of the ICN, CRAN, and SDN for the HetNet to achieve a win-win situation. The vision of the proposed system is demonstrated, followed by the advantages and challenges. We further present a hybrid system in a large-scale wireless heterogeneous campus network. <s> BIB003 </s> Information-centric mobile caching network frameworks and caching optimization: a survey <s> Information-centric mobile caching and cloud computing <s> In cloud radio access networks (C-RANs), a substantial amount of data must be exchanged in both backhaul and fronthaul links, which causes high power consumption and poor quality of service (QoS) experience for real-time services. To solve this problem, a cluster content caching structure is proposed in this paper, which takes full advantages of distributed caching and centralized signal processing. In particular, redundant traffic on the backhaul can be reduced because the cluster content cache provides a part of required content objects for remote radio heads (RRHs) connected to a common edge cloud. Tractable expressions for both effective capacity and energy efficiency performance are derived, which show that the proposed structure can improve QoS guarantees with a lower cost of local storage. Furthermore, to fully explore the potential of the proposed cluster content caching structure, the joint design of resource allocation and RRH association is optimized, and two distributed algorithms are accordingly proposed. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the analytical results and show the performance gains achieved by cluster content caching in C-RANs. <s> BIB004 </s> Information-centric mobile caching network frameworks and caching optimization: a survey <s> Information-centric mobile caching and cloud computing <s> The number and capabilities of IoT devices will exponentially grow over the next years. Together with the pervasive diffusion of smart personal mobile devices this opens up unprecedented opportunities for contextualised services provided to mobile users, based on their current interests and behaviours. In addition, most of these services will be content-centric rather than host-centric. Cloud computing and Information-Centric Networking (ICN) are therefore two key technologies in this perspective. In both cases, solutions are typically designed for global Internet platforms, while mobile nodes are seen as edge devices from which data are fetched and sent back through pervasive wireless networks (typically, LTE). However, it is questionable whether such an approach will work as expected, e.g., due to data privacy concerns and expected bandwidth shortage of even last-generation cellular networks. In this paper we present a general framework where global cloud and ICN platforms are complemented in a totally synergic way by local clouds formed at the edge of the network by mobile devices, where service provisioning and data management functionalities are offloaded whenever possible (and appropriate). This results in a multi-layer, content- and service-centric approach to IoT data management and service provisioning. We then present performance evaluation results from applying this framework to a specific case where data-centric services are jointly provided by edge devices and by a global cloud platform. Results show that this approach is very promising, as it is able to drastically cut the related cellular-network traffic, and, at the same time, improve the effectiveness of service provisioning to users. <s> BIB005
The infrastructures of cloud computing provider are usually hosted by large data centers due to management reasons. ICN makes it possible to distribute cloud service objects across a mobile or a home networking environment. Thus optimization of cloud computing management and supporting cloud computing applications by using Information-centric mobile caching framework and ICN paradigm is a potential research direction BIB002 . From the perspective of caching cloud based on edge cloud computing, information centric mobile caching integrated with cloud computing brings about different radio access network architectures. Caches can be placed in different network elements such as SBS, BBU pool and user devices based on various deployment strategies of C-RAN BIB004 BIB003 . From the point view of management, by constructing a cloud computing platform above ICN and providing an interface for the interaction between ICN and cloud computing platform BIB001 , malicious attacks to the data center network can be easily avoided due to security mechanism in Informationcentric mobile caching by ICN, and data recovery becomes extremely easy in the cloud over ICN. From the respect of service providers, data availability is significantly improved because of universal unique information centric data name, which allows the data flow across distinct cloud computing service providers BIB002 . In BIB005 , a general framework is constructed where global cloud and ICN platforms are complemented in a totally synergic way by local clouds formed at the edge of the network by mobile devices so that service provisioning and data management functionalities are offloaded whenever possible. All of the studies show that integration of Informationcentric mobile caching and cloud computing could be a long-term goal in the optimization of cloud computing management and supporting cloud computing applications in future.
