Edge-first-based cooperative caching strategy in information centric networking by Jiang ZHI, Jun LI, Hai-bo WU, Yong-mao REN

“…In order to optimize the replica placement in information centric networking,an edge-first-based cooperative caching strategy (ECCS) was proposed.According to the strategy,cache decision was made during the interest forwarding stage.The decision result and statistic information would been forwarded to upstream routers step by step.Utilizing the information,upstream nodes could update their cache information table immediately to achieve cooperative caching.The experimental results indicate ECCS can achieve salient performance gain in terms of server load reduction ratio,average hop reduction ratio,average cache hit ratio,compared with current strategies.…”

Time series data aggregation algorithm with synchronous prediction for WBAN by Ru-yan WANG, Mei-ling ZHAI, Da-peng WU

“…Due to the nonlinearity and nonstationarity of the physiological data sensed by WBAN,data aggregation cannot be effectively achieved according to the time-domain trend of data.Therefore,a novel time series data aggregation algorithm with synchronous prediction was proposed.By preprocessing the original sensing data with the multi-resolution analysis,the inherent characteristics of the physiological data can be obtained to establish a light-weight synchronous prediction model at both the sensor and sink.Numerical results show that the proposed aggregation algorithm can achieve a favorable prediction precision and a low energy consumption rate by eliminating the in-network data redundancy.…”
