  To meet the increasing demands of next-generation cellular networks (e.g.,
6G), advanced networking technologies must be incorporated. On one hand, the
Fog Radio Access Network (F-RAN), has been proposed as an enhancement to the
Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN). On the other hand, efficient network
architectures, such as Named Data Networking (NDN), have been recognized as
prominent Future Internet candidates. Nevertheless, the interplay between F-RAN
and NDN warrants further investigation. In this paper, we propose an
NDN-enabled F-RAN architecture featuring a strategy for distributed in-network
caching. Through a simulation study, we demonstrate the superiority of the
proposed in-network caching strategy in comparison with baseline caching
strategies in terms of network resource utilization, cache hits, and fronthaul
channel usage.
