By considering the definitions and properties from the field of linguistics regarding place specification, a questionnaire that can be used to improve naming in networks is obtained. The questionnaire helps introduce the idea of place specification from linguistics and the concept of metric spaces into network naming schemes. The questionnaire results are used to improve the basic Information-Centric Networking (ICN) architecture’s notoriously lax network naming structure. The improvements are realized by leveraging components from the Named-Node Network Architecture, a minor ICN design, to supply the resulting network architecture with the properties the questionnaire highlights. Evaluation results from experiments demonstrate that modifying the network architecture so that the proposed questionnaire is satisfied results in achieving high mobility performance. Specifically, the proposed system can obtain mean application goodput at above of the ideal result, with a delay below 0.104 s and with the network time-out Interest ratio below 0.082 for the proposed single mobile push producer, single mobile consumer scenario, even when the nodes reach the maximum tested speed of 14 m/s.
