Abstract

Caching and prefetching are well-known solutions to solve the problem of long-latency in both wired and wireless networks. A cache-index forwarding can be used to let the base station know the caching information on the mobile hosts. In this paper, we propose a hybrid cache-index forwarding scheme, which sends the caching data information on mobile hosts per document to the base station. Our scheme also transfers all of the cache-index data from the old base station to the new one during the handover phase.
