Content delivery networks are a key infrastructure component used by Video on Demand (VoD) services to deliver content over the Internet. We study a content delivery system consisting of a central server and multiple co-located caches, each…
We consider the multi-access coded caching problem, which contains a central server with $N$ files, $K$ caches with $M$ units of memory each and $K$ users where each one is connected to $L (\geq 1)$ consecutive caches, with a cyclic…
Cache-aided content delivery is studied in a multi-server system with $P$ servers and $K$ users, each equipped with a local cache memory. In the delivery phase, each user connects randomly to any $\rho$ out of $P$ servers. Thanks to the…
We consider content-level selective offloading of cellular downlink traffic to a wireless infostation terminal which stores high data-rate content in its cache memory. Cellular users in the vicinity of the infostation can directly download…
Caching is a technique to reduce peak traffic rates by prefetching popular content into memories at the end users. Conventionally, these memories are used to deliver requested content in part from a locally cached copy rather than through…
The combination of edge caching and coded multicasting is a promising approach to improve the efficiency of content delivery over cache-aided networks. The global caching gain resulting from content overlap distributed across the network in…
The emergence of novel interactive multimedia applications with high rate and low latency requirements has led to a drastic increase in the video data traffic over wireless cellular networks. Endowing the small base stations of a macro-cell…
Two main trends in today's internet are of major interest for video streaming services: most content delivery platforms coincide towards using adaptive video streaming over HTTP and new network architectures allowing caching at intermediate…
This paper addresses a fundamental limitation for the adoption of caching for wireless access networks due to small population sizes. This shortcoming is due to two main challenges: (i) making timely estimates of varying content popularity…
Replicating or caching popular content in memories distributed across the network is a technique to reduce peak network loads. Conventionally, the main performance gain of this caching was thought to result from making part of the requested…
Coded caching schemes on broadcast networks with user caches help to offload traffic from peak times to off-peak times by prefetching information from the server to the users during off-peak times and thus serving the users more efficiently…
We consider a system, containing a library of multiple files and a general memoryless communication network through which a server is connected to multiple users, each equipped with a local isolated cache of certain size that can be used to…
In this paper, the problem of content-aware user clustering and content caching in wireless small cell networks is studied. In particular, a service delay minimization problem is formulated, aiming at optimally caching contents at the small…
Cache-aided content delivery is studied in a multi-server system with $P$ servers and $K$ users, each equipped with a local cache memory. In the delivery phase, each user connects randomly to any $\rho$ out of $P$ servers. Thanks to the…
Caching is popular technique in content delivery networks that allows for reductions in transmission rates from the content-hosting server to the end users. Coded caching is a generalization of conventional caching that considers the…
In this paper we determine the delivery time for a multi-server coded caching problem when the cache size of each user is small. We propose an achievable scheme based on coded cache content placement, and employ zero-forcing techniques at…
Mass live content, such as world cups, the Superbowl or the Olympics, attract audiences of hundreds of millions of viewers. While such events were predominantly consumed on TV, more and more viewers follow big events on the Internet, which…
Bandwidth hungry video content has become the dominant contributor to the data traffic world over. Cellular networks are constantly evolving to meet the growing traffic demands. Over the past few years, wireless multicast has been garnering…
Caching at the network edge devices such as wireless caching stations (WCS) is a key technology in the 5G network. The spatial-temporal diversity of content popularity requires different content to be cached in different WCSs and…
Provisioning of Quality of Service (QoS) is a key issue in any multi-media system. However, in wireless systems, supporting QoS requirements of different traffic types is more challenging due to the need to minimize two performance metrics…
