Proactive Wireless Caching at Mobile User Devices for Energy Efficiency

Proactive content caching at user terminals is studied from an energy efficiency perspective. Assuming that the variable-rate demands of a user can be predicted accurately over a certain time period, the optimal transmission strategy that minimizes the total energy consumption is characterized. The reduction in the energy consumption is obtained both by increasing the total transmission time of a request, and by downloading it at better channel conditions, rather than downloading it at the time of use. Both gains are possible thanks to the limited cache memory at the user device, in which the pre-downloaded content is stored until it is requested by the application layer, such as a video player. We formulate the optimal proactive transmission strategy as the solution of a convex optimization problem, and evaluate the minimum total energy requirement numerically. We also provide a backward water-filling interpretation for the optimal caching strategy.

Optimal number of routing paths in multi-path routing to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks
İncebacak, Davut; Tavlı, Bulent; Bıcakçı, Kemal; Altın-Kayhan, Ayşegül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-30)
In wireless sensor networks, multi-path routing is proposed for energy balancing which prolongs the network lifetime as compared to single-path routing where utilization of a single route between a source node and the base station results in imbalanced energy dissipation. While it is evident that increasing the number of routing paths mitigates the problem of energy over-utilization in a subset of nodes acting as relays, the net effect of the proliferation of multiple routing paths on energy balancing remai...
Network density estimators and density-aware wireless networks
Eroğlu, Alperen; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-11)
New network architectures and communication technologies continue to emerge to meet rapidly increasing and changing user demands requiring continuous connectivity and high data rate transmissions. These ubiquitous infrastructures result in a paradigm shift in mobile communications with the advent of mobile robots equipped with sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles, and mobile small-cells, which makes the future networks highly dynamic. This dynamism poses unpredictable variations in the network density causing ...
CodePipe: An Opportunistic Feeding and Routing Protocol for Reliable Multicast with Pipelined Network Coding
Li, Peng; Guo, Song; Yu, Shui; Vasilakos, Athanasios V. (2012-03-30)
Multicast is an important mechanism in modern wireless networks and has attracted significant efforts to improve its performance with different metrics including throughput, delay, energy efficiency, etc. Traditionally, an ideal loss-free channel model is widely used to facilitate routing protocol design. However, the quality of wireless links would be affected or even jeopardized by many factors like collisions, fading or the noise of environment. In this paper, we propose a reliable multicast protocol, ca...
Machine learning algorithms for accurate flow-based network traffic classification: Evaluation and comparison
Soysal, Murat; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (Elsevier BV, 2010-06-01)
The task of network management and monitoring relies on an accurate characterization of network traffic generated by different applications and network protocols. We employ three supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, Bayesian Networks, Decision Trees and Multilayer Perceptrons for the flow-based classification of six different types of Internet traffic including peer-to-peer (P2P) and content delivery (Akamai) traffic. The dependency of the traffic classification performance on the amount and composi...
Exploiting Navigational Queries for Result Presentation and Caching in Web Search Engines
Ozcan, Rifat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Ozgur (Wiley, 2011-04-01)
Caching of query results is an important mechanism for efficiency and scalability of web search engines. Query results are cached and presented in terms of pages, which typically include 10 results each. In navigational queries, users seek a particular website, which would be typically listed at the top ranks (maybe, first or second) by the search engine, if found. For this type of query, caching and presenting results in the 10-per-page manner may waste cache space and network bandwidth. In this article, w...
