The Impact of ICN/CCN Cache Decision Policies on Video and Audio Transmission QoE

Abstract

This paper considers video and audio transmission in ICN (Information-Centric Networking) CCN (Content- Centric Networking), in which each intermediate node can cache content. LCE (Leave Copy Everywhere) has been known as a generic cache decision policy. However, because LCE caches at all the intermediate nodes, the cache of intermediate nodes can be duplicated. Therefore, various cache decision policies that eliminate redundancy have been proposed. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of the cache decision policies on QoE of video and audio transmission in ICN/CCN. We assess application-level QoS using a computer simulation with a tree network and QoE by means of subjective experiment.
