Abstract

En 中文

By caching the most popular content into mobile devices, users can retrieve content directly from nearby devices through Device to Device (D2D) communications, which can significantly reduce backhaul traffic and improve network performance. Most existing D2D cache placement strategies are proactive approaches, which cannot deal with the problem of timely cache updating. In this paper, we propose a network coding-based socially-aware D2D caching strategy, which takes geographical proximity and the social relationships of users into consideration. First, a physical D2D network with high communication reliability is built according to the geographical proximity, composed of devices with high probability of communicating to each other through stable D2D communications. According to the social relationship between users within the physical D2D network, we partition the devices into communities and rank the devices within same community by their influence degree. Within a community, each caching decision is made independently according to the user-content contribution degree. To calculate the contribution degree, the impact between devices on requesting same content is modeled using an Indian Buffet Process. Devices cache coded blocks instead of the whole content to improve caching efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy achieves higher cache hit and sum rates compared to other schemes.
