Design and Implementation of Tracking System for Moving Objects in Information-Centric Networking

Recently, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) attracts attention as the communication infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT) environment that requires various device cooperation and the mobility environment where an address frequently changes. By using “control”, “management”, and “data processing” in the network, ICN is expected not only as a simple data transfer but also an information distribution infrastructure with service provision function. However, many ICN researches focus on accessing static content with a name, and an ICN architecture that provides dynamic services has not been sufficiently researched. In order to develop network functions that realize dynamic services in ICN, we design and implement the tracking system for moving objects with ICN. We implement the designed system and conduct operation experiments using actual equipment, and confirm that ICN can realize a dynamic video distribution service that tracks a moving object based on the designed system and ICN has the possibility as an information distribution infrastructure with dynamic service provision function.
