Dear Friends, 

We have uploaded an update to our draft incorporating all the feedback we received so far. 
Specifically, we worked offline with reviewers (CC'ed), discussed their feedback and incorporated it. 

We are looking forward to further comments, if any. 
We also request chairs to guide us further on progression of this draft. 

Thank you,
/anil.

    Abstract:
       LTE, 4G mobile networks use IP based transport for control plane to
       establish the data session and user plane for actual data delivery.
       In existing architecture, IP transport used in user plane is not
       optimized for data transport, which leads to an inefficient data
       delivery.  IP unicast routing from server to clients is used for
       delivery of multimedia content to User Equipment (UE), where each
       user gets a separate stream.  From bandwidth and routing perspective
       this approach is inefficient.  Multicast and broadcast technologies
       have emerged recently for mobile networks, but their deployments are
       very limited or at an experimental stage due to complex architecture
       and radio spectrum issues.  ICN is a rapidly emerging technology with
       built-in features for efficient multimedia data delivery, however
       majority of the work is focused on fixed networks.  The main focus of
       this draft is on native deployment of ICN in cellular mobile networks
       by using ICN in 3GPP protocol stack.  ICN has an inherent capability
       for multicast, anchorless mobility, security and it is optimized for
       data delivery using local caching at the edge.  The proposed
       approaches in this draft allow ICN to be enabled natively over the
       current LTE stack comprising of PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY or in a dual stack
       mode (along with IP) help optimize the mobile networks by leveraging
       the inherent benefits of ICN.
