2009-2011, "Efficient Cache Management Schemes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks", sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 60803111)
Data caching has been shown to be efficient in accelerating information access.
Traditional cache management strategies are mainly focused on data characters. They work
independently without cooperation between nodes, which is unsuitable for data access in
dynamic mobile ad hoc networks. This project aims to investigate efficient caching
schemes in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks based on cooperation and application
features. We focus on the following tasks. First, we analyze different influence factors
on cache performance and construct a theoretical model for cooperative caching in mobile
ad hoc networks. Then, we investigate to key techniques to optimize cache management
based on application features, including energy-efficient cooperative caching placement
and replacement, location-aware loosely constrained cache replacement and prefetching,
and time-space constrained cache consistency algorithms. Finally, we will combine the
above studies to form a comprehensive cooperative caching system and evaluate its
performance.
