报告简介：Mobile data traffic is increasing explosively in recent years due to tremendous growth in demands from mobile users for multimedia contents. However, current mobile networking technologies, including network architectures and data transmission techniques, cannot support the anticipated traffic load without degrading mobile user’s QoS/QoE. Much ongoing research efforts are targeted at developing technologies for 5G mobile Internets and beyond to overcome these limitations. Content-centric edge caching has recently emerged as a promising technique to satisfy the demands of popular multimedia contents that are requested repeatedly by multiple mobile users over a period of time. This talk will motivate and explore the design principles and goals of content-centric edge caching. We shall present a generalized architectural framework as a basis of differentiating different edge caching designs. We shall present several trace-driven case studies to illustrate the optimization of some design alternatives. We shall conclude the talk with a discussion of research opportunities and challenges in content-centric edge caching.
