METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING CACHING IN MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEMS

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for managing caching in mobile edge computing systems. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method includes: determining a caching policy for caching a group of content items in a plurality of edge nodes, wherein determining the cache policy comprises determining whether to cache a content item in an edge node at least based on a popularity of the content item and a latency between the edge node and a group of base stations; and transmitting a content indication to each edge node of the plurality of edge nodes based on the determined caching polity respectively, wherein the content indication transmitted to a respective edge node comprises one or more identifiers corresponding to one or more content items determined to be cached in the respective edge node.
