Optimization based Approach for Content Distribution in Hybrid Mobile Social Networks

Abstract

This paper presents the new strategy for smooth content distribution in the mobile social network. We proposed a new method, hybrid mobile social network architecture scheme considered as one node of a social community called social super node with higher capacity provides the services of content distribution. We proposed methods and techniques that are introduced to set the criteria to select a social super node (SSN). The simulation results are carried out to measure the correctness of the network performance of the proposed method. These results indicate that the accessing of those content of nearby social super node instead of the content provider is used to improve overall network performance in terms of content end-toend delays, delivery ratio, throughput, and cost.

Content distribution and protocol design issue for mobile social networks: a survey

“…However, such opportunistic contacts introduce the issues related to community detection, content distribution, routing, and delivery delay. In [39,63], an architecture of hybrid mobile social networking is introduced for a mobile transient network by utilizing multimedia devices. Multimedia devices encounter with the content provider through cellular networks and in parallel they can also form an ad hoc network by utilizing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radio interfaces.…”
