Content-centric Network-Based MANET for Streaming Video Transmission

The content centric network (CCN) is the new communication paradigm conceived for the future Internet. The basic idea of CCN is to use content names as addresses instead of IP-based host addresses. Video streaming services like YouTube represent the most important part of the internet traffic. Recently, the impact of mobility on video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks has become the real challenge for researchers. In this paper we consider CCN as a fundamental driver for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) protocol design. For simulation the CCN approach implemented in ndnSIM has been used. Thus, we propose to extend this architecture to evaluate QoS of video streaming in CCN-based MANET. Through simulations, we investigate the feasibility and the performance of this design. Then we compare the benefits of our proposal routing protocol for CCN-based MANET with the classical routing protocols in MANET. Results show that mobile networks can be made more effective and efficient through CCN Network.
