“…Besides, ICN can substantially enhance the quality, and reduce communication and security complexity of smart charging of electric vehicles [132]. The benefits of ICN for smart grids have been showcased in both laboratory setup and real field trial in a live electricity grid in Netherlands [133]. An information-centric advanced metering infrastructure for measuring, collecting, storing, analyzing, and exploiting energy usage data in smart grids was presented in [134].…”

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is a novel edge computing paradigm that moves cloud-based processing and storage capabilities closer to the mobile users by implementing server resources in the access nodes. MEC helps fulfill the stringent requirements of 5G and beyond networks to offer anytime-anywhere connectivity for many devices with ultra-low delay and huge bandwidths. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is another prominent network technology that builds on a content-centric network architecture to overcome host-centric routing/operation shortcomings and to realize efficient pervasive and ubiquitous networking. It is envisaged to be employed in Future Internet including Beyond 5G (B5G) networks. The consolidation of ICN with MEC technology offers new opportunities to realize that vision and serve advanced use cases. However, various integration challenges are yet to be addressed to enable the wide-scale co-deployment of ICN with MEC in future networks. In this paper, we discuss and elaborate on ICN MEC integration to provide a comprehensive survey with a forwardlooking perspective for Beyond 5G networks. In that regard, we deduce lessons learned from related works (for both 5G and Beyond 5G networks). We present ongoing standardization activities to highlight practical implications of such efforts. Moreover, we render key B5G use cases and highlight the role for ICN MEC integration for addressing their requirements. Finally, we layout research challenges and identify potential research

“…The operation and, more importantly, the protection of distribution grids are thus increasingly reliant on a robust and efficient communication infrastructure that must provide seamless and timely communication service, such that full observability of power conditions is maintained at all times [8]. In fact, to cater for the challenges of next generation smart grids, there are already work in the literature to apply the latest information-centric networking paradigm for smart grid applications (e.g., [9], [10], [11]). …”

Abstract-The operations of many modern cyber-physical systems, such as smart grids, are based on increasingly interdependent networks. The impact of cascading failures on such networks has recently received significant attention due to the corresponding effect of these failures on the society. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on the robustness of interdependent systems formed by the coupling of power grids and communication networks by putting real distribution power grids to the test. We focus on the assessment of the robustness of a large set of medium-voltage (MV) distribution grids, currently operating live in the Netherlands, against cascading failures initiated by different types of faults / attacks. We consider both unintentional random failures and malicious targeted attacks which gradually degrade the capability of the entire system and we evaluate their respective consequences. Our study shows that current MV grids are highly vulnerable to such cascades of failures. Furthermore, we discover that a small-world communication network structure lends itself to the robustness of the interdependent system. Also interestingly enough, we discover that the formation of hub hierarchies, which is known to enhance independent network robustness, actually has detrimental effects against cascading failures. Based on real MV grid topologies, our study yields realistic insights which can be employed as a set of practical guidelines for distribution system operators (DSOs) to design effective grid protection schemes.

“…Although ICN is an emerging technology, it already shows some promising results in the areas of efficient content delivery [44,49,56,60], host mobility [9,53,55], smart grids [14,27,31], satellite networks [16,33,43], and network security [5,21,22]. On the other hand, there are not many works that investigate the applicability of ICN principles in wireless community networks (WCN).…”

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is an emerging networking technology that has been designed to directly operate on named content/information objects, rather than relying on the knowledge of the content location. According to the ICN principles, a user requests the information object by its name or some other form of object identifier. After that, the ICN system is responsible for finding the particular object and sending it back to the user. Despite a large number of works on ICN in recent years, ICN systems still face security challenges. This is especially true when considering different types of alternative networks, such as the wireless community networks (WCNs). In this work, we explore the applicability of ICN principles in the challenging and unpredictable environments of WCNs. We consider stateless content dissemination using Bloom filters (BFs) and analyze two BF based approaches: the traditional single-stage BF and its generalization, the multi-stage BF. We focus on the security aspects of BF based approaches and in particular on distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Finally, we investigate the attack probability for various system and network parameters, such as the number of hash functions, the BF maximum fill factor, and the number of hops toward the victim node.
