Content Caching in Mobile Edge Computing Based on User Location and Preferences Using Cosine Similarity and Collaborative Filtering

Abstract

High-speed internet has boosted clients’ traffic needs. Content caching on mobile edge computing (MEC) servers reduces traffic and latency. Caching with MEC faces difficulties such as user mobility, limited storage, varying user preferences, and rising video streaming needs. The current content caching techniques consider user mobility and content popularity to improve the experience. However, no present solution addresses user preferences and mobility, affecting caching decisions. We propose mobility- and user-preferences-aware caching for MEC. Using time series, the proposed system finds mobility patterns and groups nearby trajectories. Using cosine similarity and CF, we predict and cache user-requested content. CF predicts the popularity of grouped-based content to improve the cache hit ratio and reduce delay compared to baseline techniques.
