The increasing popularity of multimedia streaming services introduces new challenges in content distribution. Especially, it is important to provide the QoS guarantees as they are increasingly expected to support the multimedia applications. The service providers can improve the performance of multimedia streaming by caching the initial segment (prefix) of the popular streams at proxies near the requesting clients. The proxy can initiate transmission to the client while requesting the remainder of the stream from the server. In this paper, in order to apply the prefix caching service based on IETF's RTSP environment to the wireless networks, we propose the effective RTSP handling scheme that can adapt to the radio situation in wireless network and reduce the cutting phenomenon. Also, we propose the traffic based caching algorithm (TSLRU) to improve the performance of caching proxy. TSLRU classifies the traffic into three types, and improve the performance of caching proxy by reflecting the several elements such as traffic types, recency, frequency, object size when performing the replacement decision. In simulation, TSLRU and RTSP handling scheme performs better than the existing schemes in terms of byte hit rate, hit rate, startup latency, and throughput.

Caching web pages is an important part of web infrastructures. The effects of caching service are even more pronounced for wireless infrastructures due to their limited bandwidth. Medium to large-scale infrastructures deploy a cluster of servers to solve the scalability problem and hot spot problem inherent in caching. In this paper we present scheduling scheme based on cache utilization in a wireless internet proxy server cluster environment. The proposed method uses cache utilization for distributing evenly client requests to a cluster of cache servers and solving hot spot problem. We have implemented our approach and performed various experiments using publicly available traces. Experimental results on a cluster of 16 cache servers demonstrate that the proposed hashing method gives 45% to 114% Performance improvement over other widely used methods while addressing the hot spot problem.

In NCW(Network Centric Warfare) environment, mobile nodes communicate through wireless link. But wireless link provides limited networking performance due to signal interferences or mobility of nodes. So it is quite challenge to acquire enough networking resources and use the resources efficiently. In this paper, we have proposed a P2P based tactical information sharing system which provides satisfactory visual information playout for mobile nodes(i.e., military personnel, vehicle,..) in NCW environment. Our proposed system consists of two components. One is caching-enabled switch which stores tactical information segments at its internal storage and then transports them to mobile nodes when require. Another is centralized scheduling algorithm which exploits networking resources more efficiently. To validate performance of proposed system, we performed series of experiments in wireless network testbed. Results show improved performance in terms of segment-missing ratio, networking resources usage, sharing time, and number of simultaneous playout mobile nodes with acceptable playout continuity(i.e., over 95%).

In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the limitations and needs of the wireless internet. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless internet proxy server but it has disadvantages; 1) its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it and 2) its structure is complex because of the inefficient communication structure among modules. In our former research, we proposed the CD-A structure which can be scalable in a systematic way but it also has disadvantages; its communication structure among modules is partly complex. In this paper, we proposed a consolidated scheme which has a systematic scalability and an efficient communication structure among modules. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 196% and 40% performance improvement of the proposed system compared to the TranSend and the CD-A system, respectively.

The wireless mesh network based on IEEE 802.11s provides a routing based on a destination address as it inherits legacy internet architecture. However, this architecture interested in not 'what' which is originally the users goal but 'where'. Futhermore, because of the rapid increase of the number of mobile devices recently, the mobile traffic increases geometrically. It reduces the network effectiveness as increasing many packets which have same payload in the situation of many users access to the same contents. In this paper, we propose an OpenFlow-based contents routing for the wireless mesh network(WMN) to solve this problem. We implement contents layer to the legacy network layer which mesh network uses and the routing technique based on contents identifier for efficient contents routing. In addition we provide flexibility as we use OpenFlow. By using this, we implement caching technique to improve effectiveness of network as decreasing the packet which has same payload in WSN. We measure the network usage to compare the flooding technique, we measure the delay to compare environment using caching and non caching. As a result of delay measure it shows 20% of performance improve, and controller message decrease maximum 89%.

현대 사회에서 무선 인터넷의 활용 분야가 날로 확대되어 가고 있으나 낮은 대역폭, 단말기 해상도의 다양성 등의 여러 가지 근본적인 문제들을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 무선인터넷 프록시 서버를 사용하며, 데이터에 대한 압축과 캐싱 방법을 사용한다. 캐싱 관점에서 해시의 사용은 캐시의 히트율(Hit ratio)을 높이며, 캐시간 협동성(Cooperative Caching)도 가지게 한다. 그러나 기존의 해시기반 스케줄링 알고리즘에서 사용자의 요청이 균등하게 분배되지 못하고 일부 서버로 몰리는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해시 테이블을 이용한 라운드로빈 방식과 캐시 이용률을 이용한 스케줄링 방식을 제안하여, 캐시간 협동성과 사용자의 요청을 고르게 분포 시키도륵 하였다. 16대의 컴퓨터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고, 실험결과를 통해 제안된 방식이 기존 방식보다 클라이언트의 요청을 캐시 서버들 사이로 균일하게 분포시키고 이에 따라 전체 무선 인터넷 프록시 서버의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), communication between mobile nodes occurs without centralized control. In this environment the mobility of a node is unpredictable; this is considered as a characteristic of wireless networks. Because of faulty or malicious nodes, the network is vulnerable to routing misbehavior. The resource constrained characteristics of MANETs leads to increased query delay at the time of data access. In this paper, AntHocNet+ Security (ANTSEC) framework is proposed that includes an enhanced cooperative caching scheme embedded with artificial immune system. This framework improves security by injecting immunity into the data packets, improves the packet delivery ratio and reduces end-to-end delay using cross layer design. The issues of node failure and node malfunction are addressed in the cache management.

To conserve the usage of energy, indexing techniques have been developed in a wireless mobile environment. However, the use of interleaved index segments in a broadcast cycle increases the average access latency for the clients. In this paper, we present the broadcast-based location dependent data delivery scheme (BBS) for dynamic range queries. In the BBS, broadcasted data objects are sorted sequentially based on their locations, and the server broadcasts the location dependent data along with an index segment. Then, we present a data prefetching and caching scheme, designed to reduce the query response time. The performance of this scheme is investigated in relation to various environmental variables, such as the distributions of the data objects, the average speed of the clients, and the size of the service area.

본 논문에서는 무선 인터넷 프록시 서버 클러스터를 사용하여 무선 인터넷의 문제와 요구들을 캐싱(Caching), 압축(Distillation) 및 클러스터(Clustering)를 통하여 해결하려고 한다. 무선 인터넷 프록시 서버 클러스터에서 고려되어야 하는 것은 시스템적인 확장성, 단순한 구조, 캐시간 협동성(Cooperative Caching), Hot Spot에 대한 처리 등이다. 본 연구자들은 기존 연구에서 시스템적인 확장성과 단순한 구조물 가지는 CD-A라는 구조를 제안하였으나 캐시간 협동성이 없다는 단점을 가진다. 이의 개선된 구조로 해쉬를 이용하여 사용자의 요청을 처리하는(캐시간 협동성을 가지는) 구조를 생각해 볼 수 있으나 이 역시 Hot Spot을 처리할 수 없다는 단정을 가진다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시스템적인 확장성, 단순한 구조, 캐시간 협동성, Hot Spot을 처리할 수 있는 공유 스토리지 기반의 무선 인터넷 프록시 서버 클러스터를 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 하나의 캐시 디렉토리를 공유하는 방법으로 기존구조의 장점과 캐시간 협동성 및 Hot Spot을 처리할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 16대의 컴퓨터를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였고 실험 결과 Hot Spot 상황에서 제안된 방법이 높은 성능 향상을 가짐을 확인하였다.
