Cluster-Based Device Mobility Management in Named Data Networking for Vehicular Networks

الملخص EN

Named data networking (NDN) is an emerging technology.

It was designed to eliminate the dependency of IP addresses in the hourglass model.

Mobility is a key concern of the modern Internet architecture, even though the NDN architecture has solved the consumer mobility.

That is, the consumer can rerequest the desired data contents, while the producer mobility remains as an issue in the NDN architecture.

This paper focuses on the issue of producer mobility and proposes the cluster-based device mobility management scheme, which uses the cluster heads to solve the producer mobility issue in NDN.

In the proposed scheme, a cluster head has all information of its attached devices.

A cluster head updates the routes, when a device moves to the new access router by sending all the attachment information.

The proposed scheme is evaluated and compared with the existing scheme by using the ndnSIM simulation.

From the results, we see that the proposed scheme can decrease the numbers of interest packets in the network, compared with the existing scheme.
