Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of collaborative video caching in mobile ad-hoc networks. We consider network portraying static video server with wired interface to gateway node that is equipped with wireless interfaces, other nodes are requiring access to the video streams that is stored at video server. In order to reduce the average access latency as well as enhance the video accessibility, efficient video caching placement and replacement strategies are crucial at some of the distributed intermediate nodes across the network. Virtual backbone caching nodes will be elected by executing caching placement algorithm after running the routing protocol phase. The simulation results indicate that the proposed collaborative aggregate cache mechanism can significantly improve the video QoS in terms of packet loss and average packet delay.
