Cache hits via a users speed, direction of movement, location, and band within a cellular network

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for caching data in a cellular network is provided. Information from a cellular network regarding location, speed, direction of travel, and bandwidth for a user can be used to determine how much data should be cached for the user. More specifically, the time period for how long a user will be in a cell of a cellular network can be calculated using information received from the cellular network. The calculated time period can be used to calculate how much data will be used by a user for the calculated time period with only the amount of data needed for the time period being cached.
