Implicit Cooperative Caching based on Information Popularity for Vehicular Networks

• Information dissemination is one of the most important tasks of vehicular networks. Therefore, information-centric networking (ICN) technology is being more and more widely used in vehicular networks due to the connectionless and lightweight characteristics of this networking paradigm. Caching plays an essential role in information-centric networks, but current caching techniques for ICN are not ideal for use in vehicular networks on account of the dynamicity and wireless transmission of vehicular networks. This paper presents a caching approach for ICN-based vehicular networks that takes into account both the dynamicity of vehicular networks and the popularity of the information to be distributed. By introducing the “interval” metric and estimating the popularity of information and current networking conditions of the vehicles on road, cooperative caching among nodes can be realized without exchanging cache management information among them. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can increase the storage space utilization and has low data response time for vehicular networks.
