Performance analysis of a novel 5G architecture via Content-Centric Networking

Abstract Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is a recent paradigm conceived for future Internet architectures, where communications are driven by contents instead of host addresses. It binds the storage capacity into the network by using the in-network caching, which can reduce the transmission delay in the network. In this paper, a novel architecture of 5G via CCN, named as CCN-5G, is proposed. Meanwhile, the performance of CCN-5G are tested in the high-speed mobile environment. The simulation results show that the CCN-5G can achieve excellent performance and satisfy the future requirements of 5G.
