Improvement of content delivery in Mobile Social Networks

This paper presents the framework of distributed buffer storage aided Mobile Social Networks (MSN). Based on this, we propose a new solution in intermittently connected MSNs with distributed storage for efficient end-to-end content delivery. Our proposed architecture of MSN is able to offer fast and reliable delivery services by distributing buffer storage located close to mobile users of the opportunistic MSN. Simulation experiments are conducted to verify the correctness and performance of the proposed method, which indicate that the saving of those contents to drop is helpful to improve network performance in terms of content delivery ratio, throughput and end-to-end delays.
