A Fluid Model for Mobile Data Offloading Based on Device-to-Device Communications with Time Constraints by Antonio Pinizzotto, Raffaele Bruno

“…To address this issue, we propose a novel fluid model based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the performance analysis of a general D2D-based mobile data offloading scheme, called OORS, which considers both content delivery guarantees and time limitations for storing content copies in local device caches, making it more practical for real-world applications. We also formulate an optimisation problem to maximise the utility of the content dissemination process through a simplified analysis of the stationary regime of the ODE model. …”
