General Architecture Model of Broadcast-Storage Network and its Realization Patterns
Yang Pen · 2015
Focusing on Internet's emerging paradigm of ubiquitous content sharing,this paper emphasizes on a physically revolutionary and dual-structural approach to the future Internet architecture,which insists on complementing the current Internet architecture with a secondary structure,the broadcast-storage network. By analyzing the concepts,features and key mechanisms of the broadcast-storage network,a general architecture model of broadcast-storage network and its mathematical description are presented.Based on these foundations,some principal realization patterns of the broadcast-storage network architecture are addressed and discussed,including Standard Pattern,Relay Pattern,Consolidation Pattern and UCL Only Pattern. Findings of this paper provide theoretical supports for further study on the strict definition and specification of the broadcast-storage network architecture.
