Abstract: A method of transmitting a data packet from a content provider in a content-centric network CCN includes verifying whether a content request packet requesting a content identical to a content of a content request packet being received from a content requester is present in a pending interest table (PIT), increasing a value of a counter corresponding to the content request packet, comparing the value of the counter to a predetermined threshold value, and transmitting a data packet using a predefined broadcast media access control (MAC) address in response to the content request packet being received and the value of the counter being greater than or equal to the threshold value.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling a home hub in a virtual group that may provide a geographical boundary about the virtual group by associating an identifier of a network of a virtual group included in an access point list with a name of the virtual group and a name of the home hub managing the virtual group, and may provide a terminal which moves to a visited virtual group with information about a network of the visited virtual group, thereby facilitating recognition of a virtual group and content sharing.

Abstract: A method for content discovery of a node in an intra-domain in a content centric network (CCN), includes generating a content request packet including a discovery area in which a search for content requested from the node is to be conducted, and transmitting the content request packet.

Abstract: A node and a method for generating a shortened name robust against a change in a hierarchical name in a Content-Centric Network (CCN) are provided. The method includes receiving a packet requesting content including a hierarchical name of the content, and determining whether a prefix of the hierarchical name is identical to a name of the node. The method further includes generating a shortened name by removing the prefix from the hierarchical name if the prefix is identical to the name component, and changing the hierarchical name to the shortened name. The shortened name is used to check whether the corresponding content is stored in the content cache, to check whether the same content-request packet is already under processing, and to decide an outgoing face to which the content-request packet is transmitted.

Abstract: A node and a method for transmitting and receiving a Content-Centric Network (CCN) packet in a CCN are provided. The method of transmitting the CCN packet, includes generating a path being used to transmit a packet with a compressed header. The method further includes determining whether a header of the CCN packet is compressible. The method further includes compressing the header based on a result of the determining. The method further includes transmitting the CCN packet with the compressed header via the path.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to process interest messages and data messages based on priorities in a Content-Centric Network (CCN) are provided. The method and apparatus to process interest messages and data messages based on priorities in a CCN provides different Quality of Service (QoS) based on type of contents by extracting a traffic type of each of the contents.

Abstract: A content sharing method of an intermediate node based on a content oriented network (CON) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a content requesting terminal, a proxy sharing request message with respect to a content including a content name of the content, the content including a plurality of data segments, generating data segment request messages with respect to each of the plurality of data segments corresponding to the content, in response to the reception of the proxy sharing request message, transmitting the data segment request messages to at least one terminal having the plurality of data segments, receiving the plurality of data segments from the at least one terminal, and transmitting the content to the content requesting terminal, using an aggregated data transmission scheme based on the received plurality of data segments.

Abstract: Provided is a communication method of a terminal, including generating, based on a characteristic of an application executed by at least one terminal in a virtual group, a content request message to request content stored by one or more other terminals in the virtual group, and transmitting the content request message to an intermediate node managing the at least one terminal to receive the content stored by the one or more other terminals.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling a home hub in a virtual group that may provide a geographical boundary about the virtual group by associating an identifier of a network of a virtual group included in an access point list with a name of the virtual group and a name of the home hub managing the virtual group, and may provide a terminal which moves to a visited virtual group with information about a network of the visited virtual group, thereby facilitating recognition of a virtual group and content sharing.

Abstract: A method of communication for a terminal in a content-centric network is provided. The method includes suspending a data message associated with a content from being provided to a face before a handover when the handover is expected to occur in the terminal that requests the content, and transmitting, to a hub, a new interest message after the handover associated with the content so that the hub may provide the data message associated with the content to the face after the handover.
