Abstract
As the communication industry is progressing towards
fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks, the traffic it
carries is also shifting from high data rate traffic from cellular
users to a mixture of high data rate and low data rate traffic
from Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Moreover, the need
to efficiently access Internet data is also increasing across 5G
networks. Caching contents at the network edge is considered
as a promising approach to reduce the delivery time. In this
paper, we propose a marketplace for providing a number of
caching options for a broad range of applications. In addition,
we propose a security scheme to secure the caching contents
with a simultaneous potential of reducing the duplicate contents
from the caching server by dividing a file into smaller chunks.
We model different caching scenarios in NS-3 and present the
performance evaluation of our proposal in terms of latency and
throughput gains for various chunk sizes
