“…Information Centric Networking (ICN) has been proposed as a network architecture which enables native content/data awareness by the underlying network, including content searching/resolution and caching. Some latest works have introduced ICN support for machine type communications, including publish/subscribe (PubSub) based data delivery in IoT applications [25] [26].…”

Abstract-The Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm envisions billions of devices all connected to the Internet, generating low-rate monitoring and measurement data to be delivered to application servers or end-users. Recently, the possibility of applying innetwork data caching techniques to IoT traffic flows has been discussed in research forums. The main challenge as opposed to the typically cached content at routers, e.g. multimedia files, is that IoT data are transient and therefore require different caching policies. In fact, the emerging location-based services can also benefit from new caching techniques that are specifically designed for small transient data. This paper studies in-network caching of transient data at content routers, considering a key temporal data property: data item lifetime. An analytical model that captures the trade-off between multihop communication costs and data item freshness is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that caching transient data is a promising information-centric networking technique that can reduce the distance between content requesters and the location in the network where the content is fetched from. To the best of our knowledge, this is a pioneering research work aiming to systematically analyse the feasibility and benefit of using Internet routers to cache transient data generated by IoT applications.

Abstract-In this paper, we investigate the provision of a new form of resilience, namely information resilience -targeting reliable communication of information under normal and adverse network conditions. We harness the power and flexibility of information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm where content are named and can be explicitly identified as opposed to the current host-centric Internet. Using ICN principles, a new modularity-based information caching approach is proposed that leverages the concept of modularity such that information reachability and persistency are enhanced especially under perturbed network scenarios, e.g., network failures due to natural disasters or network under malicious attacks. The main idea of our proposal is to exploit the better connectivity of nodes within certain community construct in a network to provide higher information diversity, and thus allow potential access to a higher number of information objects even under various network dynamics. We conduct extensive simulations based on both real and model network topologies and show that our proposal can significantly increase request satisfaction ratios under highly dynamic network scenarios (i.e., network under multiple perturbations) across different system parameters.

“…Then, the authors of [5] studied Information-Centric Networking (ICN) performance in Real Time State Estimation (RTSE) of smart grids. This work has been expanded in [6] and an informationcentric platform baptized C-DAX is proposed to RTSE in active power distribution grids. Other research works dealt with different smart grid subsystem, we noticed particularly the adoption of ICN in home area networks for residential energy management [7].…”

Abstract-In-network caching is a key feature of contentcentric networking. It is however a relatively costly mechanism with hardware requirements besides placement/replication strategies elaboration. As content-centric networking is proposed in the literature to manage smart grid (SG) communications, we aim, in this research work, to investigate the cost effectiveness of in-network caching in this context. We consider, in particular, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) service that comes into prominence since its outputs are imperative inputs of most smart grid applications. In this research work, AMI communication topology and data traffic are characterized. Corresponding simulation environment is then built. Thereafter, various placement and replacement strategies are compared in a simulation study to be further able to propose a suitable cache placement and replacement combination for AMI in Smart Grid.
