As data traffic volume continues to increase, caching of popular content at strategic network locations closer to the end user can enhance not only user experience but ease the utilization of highly congested links in the network. A key…
Edge caching is being explored as a promising technology to alleviate the network burden of cellular networks by separating the computing functionalities away from cellular base stations. However, the service capability of existing caching…
Nodes can be ranked according to their relative importance within the network. Ranking algorithms based on random walks are particularly useful because they connect topological and diffusive properties of the network. Previous methods based…
In this paper we study the problem of content placement in a cache network. We consider a network where routing of requests is based on random walks. Content placement is done using a novel mechanism referred to as reinforced counters. To…
Today, a large fraction of Internet traffic is originated by Content Providers (CPs) such as content distribution networks and hyper-giants. To cope with the increasing demand for content, CPs deploy massively distributed infrastructures.…
The overall performance of content distribution networks as well as recently proposed information-centric networks rely on both memory and bandwidth capacities. In this framework, the hit ratio is the key performance indicator which…
Content-centric mobile hybrid Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks consisting of mobile devices and static femto access points (FAPs) are studied, where each device moves according to the random walk mobility model and requests a content…
With the development of new technologies and applications, such as the Internet of Things, smart cities, 5G, and edge computing, traditional Internet Protocol-based (IP-based) networks have been exposed as having many problems.…
We study robust and efficient distributed algorithms for searching, storing, and maintaining data in dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience heavy node churn (i.e., nodes join and leave…
Content distribution networks (CDNs) which serve to deliver web objects (e.g., documents, applications, music and video, etc.) have seen tremendous growth since its emergence. To minimize the retrieving delay experienced by a user with a…
Time-limited states characterise many dynamical processes on networks: disease infected individuals recover after some time, people forget news spreading on social networks, or passengers may not wait forever for a connection. These…
Resource pooling in ad hoc networks deals with accumulating computing and network resources to implement network control schemes such as routing, congestion, traffic management, and so on. Pooling of resources can be accomplished using the…
Recommender engines have become an integral component in today's e-commerce systems. From recommending books in Amazon to finding friends in social networks such as Facebook, they have become omnipresent. Generally, recommender systems can…
Information-centric networking (ICN) has gained attention from network research communities due to its capability of efficient content dissemination. In-network caching function in ICN plays an important role to achieve the design…
Random walks are gaining much attention from the networks research community. They are the basis of many proposals aimed to solve a variety of network-related problems such as resource location, network construction, nodes sampling, etc.…
In this paper, downlink delivery of popular content is optimized with the assistance of wireless cache nodes. Specifically, the requests of one file is modeled as a Poisson point process with finite lifetime, and two downlink transmission…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a concept being considered as a potential future alternative to, or replacement for, today's Internet IP-style packet-switched host-centric networking. One factor making CCN attractive is its focus on…
The flux of social media and the convenience of mobile connectivity has created a mobile data phenomenon that is expected to overwhelm the mobile cellular networks in the foreseeable future. Despite the advent of 4G/LTE, the growth rate of…
We consider load balancing in a network of caching servers delivering contents to end users. Randomized load balancing via the so-called power of two choices is a well-known approach in parallel and distributed systems. In this framework,…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is large-scale by nature. This is not only manifested by the large number of connected devices, but also by the high volumes of traffic that must be accommodated. Cellular networks are indeed a natural candidate…
