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.

Efficient Bandwidth Utilization in Mobile Environments for Cache Consistency Using Queried Data (CCUQD) Approach

TL;DR: A novel algorithm called Cache Consistency Using Queried Data (CCUQD) is proposed which maintains cache consistency by broadcasting IRs periodically and maximizes bandwidth utilization by making a batch and delaying the broadcast of queried data by the MU to the server.

Scalability study of cache access mechanisms in multiple-cell wireless networks

TL;DR: A comprehensive study to compare four strong-consistent cache access algorithms including the invalidation report (IR), poll-each-read (PER), call-back (CB), and Lease schemes in multiple-cell wireless/mobile networks, finding that the IR schemes do not perform well in a multiple- cell wireless/ mobile networks with a large update rate, database size, and IR window size.

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.

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.
