Vehicular content centric networks (VCCNs) emerge as a strong candidate to be deployed in information-rich applications of vehicular communications. Due to vehicles' mobility, it becomes rather inefficient to establish end-to-end connections in VCCNs. Consequently, content packets are usually sent back to the requesting node via different paths in VCCNs. To improve network performance of VCCNs, node mobility should be exploited for vehicles to serve as relays and to carry data for delivery. In this paper, we propose a scheme called cooperative caching based on mobility prediction (CCMP) for VCCNs. The main idea of CCMP is to cache popular contents at a set of mobile nodes that may visit the same hot spot areas repeatedly. In our CCMP scheme, we use prediction based on partial matching to predict mobile nodes' probability of reaching different hot spot regions based on their past trajectories. Vehicles with longer sojourn time in a hot region can provide more services and should be preferred as caching nodes. To solve the problem of limited buffer at each node, we design a cache replacement based on content popularity to guarantee that only popular contents are cached. We evaluate CCMP through the opportunistic network environment simulator for its salient features in success ratio and content access delay compared to other state-of-the-art schemes.
