Title
Selective Offload and Proactive Caching of Mobile Data in LTE-Based Urban Networks
Abstract
In this paper we focus on mobile data offloading and propose a solution for the placement of offloading infrastructures that optimizes the trade-off between reducing deployed resources and increasing traffic breakout. We base our analysis on a real dataset of Internet accesses generated, in the city of Milano, by some 50, 000 users of an important mobile network operator. The target application we consider is the distribution of digital contents (such as MP3 songs, videos and newspapers) over an urban area. The paper's contributions is showing that offloading of digital contents can be achieved by leveraging people's regular mobility patterns.
