Performance evaluation of content-centric LTE networks

As the network is being evolved towards the content-centric network and the content itself is more focused rather than the host, a new paradigm called content-centric networking (CCN) is being considered for the Future Internet. Because the traffic in the Internet and wireless network has been increasing rapidly due to the continued proliferation of mobile devices, it is important to minimize the content delivery time and avoid congestion in the network. Seamless mobility should also be provided to support service continuity when mobile users are moving from one domain to another domain in the wireless environment. In this paper, we present that CCN can support faster content delivery services as well as seamless services in wireless networks such as LTE. We also evaluate the performance of the content-centric LTE network via simulations.
