Performance Analysis of Queuing Models for Cooperative Content Distribution of Mobile Network

Abstract

In cooperative content distribution (CCD), every Mobile Terminal (MT) cooperate with each other to distribute the content to those terminals which are within their transmission range and are interested in the same content. It has been already proved that CCD is more energy efficient than the traditional approach where each MT download the whole content individually. In this paper, queuing theory has been applied with CCD schemes, different CCD models have been compared with each other and its performance under different queuing models has been analyzed. Simulation result shows that Single Server Multiple Queue (SSMQ) and Multiple Server Multiple Queue (MSMQ) are more efficient in terms of energy consumption as compare to Single Server Single Queue (SSSQ) and Multiple Server Single Queue (MSSQ).
