Abstract : Enabling content-centric network (CCN) features over a cellular network can significantly reduce mobile data traffic and support upcoming 5G. However, traditional cellular networks follow a host-centric network architecture rather than the content-centric architecture. Moreover, supporting CCNspecific features, such as multicast and broadcast of a content to multiple users, searching a possible content source in a wireless environment is extremely challenging due to constraints of limited power and user mobility. The primary question remains, how to distinguish between CCN packets and normal cellular network packets? Is it possible to enable this features at router level? In this article we explore several technologies and packet formats to support coexistence of CCWN and traditional cellular communication
