TLDR
An energy-efficient cache invalidation method, called GCORE (Grouping with COld update-set REtention), that allows a mobile computer to operate in a disconnected mode to save the battery while still retaining most of the caching benefits after a reconnection is presented.
Abstract
Caching can reduce the bandwidth requirement in a mobile computing environment. However, due to battery power limitations, a wireless mobile computer may often be forced to operate in a doze (or even totally disconnected) mode. As a result, the mobile computer may miss some cache invalidation reports broadcast by a server, forcing it to discard the entire cache contents after waking up. In this paper, we present an energy-efficient cache invalidation method, called GCORE (Grouping with COld update-set REtention), that allows a mobile computer to operate in a disconnected mode to save the battery while still retaining most of the caching benefits after a reconnection. We present an efficient implementation of GCORE and conduct simulations to evaluate its caching effectiveness. The results show that GCORE can substantially improve mobile caching by reducing the communication bandwidth (or energy consumption) for query processing.

Sleepers and Workaholics: Caching Strategies in Mobile Environments

TL;DR: In this paper, a taxonomy of different cache invalidation strategies and study the impact of client's disconnection times on their performance is presented, and the authors determine that for the units which are often disconnected (sleepers) the best cache invalidization strategy is based on signatures previously used for efficient file comparison.

Sleepers and workaholics: caching strategies in mobile environments

TL;DR: A taxonomy of different cache invalidation strategies is proposed and it is determined that for the units which are often disconnected (sleepers) the best cache invalidations strategy is based on signatures previously used for efficient file comparison, and for units which is connected most of the time (workaholics), the best Cache invalidation strategy isbased on the periodic broadcast of changed data items.
