Information-Centric Networking-based Active Data Retrieval Method in Spatio-Temporal Data-Retention System

The Spatio-Temporal Data-Retention System (STDRS) disseminates and retains spatio-temporal data (STD) within a specific area using user device mobility and wireless communication. Conventional STD-RS employs broadcasting to uniformly distribute data without queries, which can lead to redundant transmissions and unreliable delivery. To address this, we propose incorporating Information-Centric Networking (ICN) into STDRS, enabling content-based data retrieval that reduces unnecessary dissemination while ensuring access to relevant information.
