As a new Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm where smart devices work socially by exploiting social ties with adjacent devices, the Social IoT can effectively meet the real-time data sharing demands in Industrial IoT scenario, with the inter-device social relations being incentives. Besides, precaching on device level can potentially combat the backhaul capacity bottlenecks. Considering the limited cache memory, we may not use the whole capacity for caching, but leave a fraction for buffering data packets. In this article, we investigate how to maximize the quality of experience while minimizing the energy consumption. First, we design a proactive cache placement scheme for cost minimization. Next, we conceive the content sharing procedure with the framework of tripartite graph and propose a ternary stable matching algorithm to let devices self-organize the content sharing. Finally, we prove that inconspicuous manipulation with domino effect can further improve the system performance.
