Abstract
We investigate a novel file-level carrier sensing based content delivery (FL-CSBCD) protocol to accommodate the transmission of multimedia files in fog-aided wireless networks. Particularly, the proposed FL-CSBCD protocol contains two phases, i.e., the file contention phase and the communication contention phase. The file contention phase aims to resolve the contentions among the requested multimedia files at each fog user equipments (F-UEs), such that the cache-hit performance is maximized. The communication contention phase is designed to resolve the collisions among concurrent content deliveries of the same file, such that the mutual interference can be suppressed. By modeling the fog-aided wireless networks with Poisson point process, we capture the density of active F-UEs, and evaluate the successful content delivery probability (SCDP) with the FL-CSBCD protocol. We show by simulations that the FL-CSBCD protocol can enhance the cache-hit performance while guarantee the coverage probability of content delivery.
