Abstract

Consider a centralized caching network with a single server and KK users. The server has a database of NN files with each file being divided into FF packets (FF is known as subpacketization), and each user owns a local cache that can store MN\frac{M}{N} fraction of the NN files. We construct a family of centralized coded caching schemes with polynomial subpacketization. Specifically, given MM, NN and an integer n0n\geq 0, we construct a family of coded caching schemes for any (K,M,N)(K,M,N) caching system with F=O(Kn+1)F=O(K^{n+1}). More generally, for any t{1,2,,K2}t\in\{1,2,\cdots,K-2\} and any integer nn such that 0nt0\leq n\leq t, we construct a coded caching scheme with MN=tK\frac{M}{N}=\frac{t}{K} and FK((1MN)K+nn)F\leq K\binom{\left(1-\frac{M}{N}\right)K+n}{n}.
