Abstract:
Cache look up is an integral part of cooperative
caching in ad hoc networks. In this paper, we discuss a
cooperative caching architecture with a distributed cache look up
protocol which relies on a virtual backbone for locating and
accessing data within a cooperate cache. Our proposal consists of
two phases: (i) formation of a virtual backbone and (ii) the cache
look up phase. The nodes in a Connected Dominating Set (CDS)
form the virtual backbone. The cache look up protocol makes use
of the nodes in the virtual backbone for effective data
dissemination and discovery. The idea in this scheme is to reduce
the number of nodes involved in cache look up process, by
constructing a CDS that contains a small number of nodes, still
having full coverage of the network. We evaluated the effect of
various parameter settings on the performance metrics such as
message overhead, cache hit ratio and average query delay.
Compared to the previous schemes the proposed scheme not only
reduces message overhead, but also improves the cache hit ratio
and reduces the average delay
