Abstract

In a perfect setting, caching plays a crucial function in increasing access to data. To improve data accessibility in the network, a system of cooperative caching should be implemented in a mobile setting. To solve the problem of limited data availability in mobile ad hoc networks, we suggest a new cooperative caching technique. Cache management strategies, cache sharing schemes, and cache consistency techniques are introduced in this thesis work to improve data availability and retrieval in a mobile ad hoc setting. The problem of cache management is of crucial importance in cooperative caching. Despite the abundance of offered solutions, each one has its own set of limitations. We present the Time Index BAsed Caching (TIBAC) method, the Heap Oriented Time Based (HOT-B) protocol, and the Collaborative Clustering for Cooperative Caching (4C) scheme, all of which are methods of cache management with varying goals.
