Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), enabling multi-hop communication between mobile nodes, are characterized by variable network topology and the demand for efficient dynamic routing protocols. MANETs need no stationary infrastructure or preconstructed base station to coordinate packet transmissions or to advertise information of network topology for mobile nodes. The objective of this paper is to provide MANETs with a distributed data caching framework, which could cache the repetition of data and data path, shorten routes and time span to access data, and enhance data reusable rate to further reduce the use of bandwidth and the consumption of power.
