Partial path extension scheme for mobile content source in content-centric networking (CCN)

Abstract

Due to rapid developments in mobile technology as well as various multimedia features like messaging, browsing, and streaming, user-created mobile contents are increasing, both in terms of quantity and quality, and at the same time are shared in real time. To get into step with such movements, new content-centric networking (CCN) has appeared. However, CCN has not taken the effect of consumer device movements into consideration. So, this paper proposes a partial path extension scheme to provide lower communication overhead, shorter download time, and lower network resource consumption in mobile consumer environments.
