Optimal Object Placement Policies To Minimize The Network-Wide Content Provisioning Cost

Abstract

Social Wireless Networks are formed by mobile devices such as data enabled phones, electronic book readers etc., allocating common interests in electronic content and physically gathering together in public places. Electronic object caching in such social wireless networks (SWNETs)are capable to diminish the content provisioning cost which depends greatly on the service and pricing dependences amide range of stakeholders together with content providers (CP), network service providers and End Consumers (EC). Drawing inspiration from Amazon’s Kindle electronic book delivery business, this paper build up practical network, service and pricing models which are then used for creating two object caching approaches for diminishing content provisioning costs in networks with homogenous and assorted object demands. The paper creates logical and replication models for analyzing the proposed caching approaches   in the presence of selfish users that diverge from network-wide cost-optimal policies.
