The problem of lossless data compression with side information available to both the encoder and the decoder is considered. The finite-blocklength fundamental limits of the best achievable performance are defined, in two different versions…
Replicating or caching popular content in memories distributed across the network is a technique to reduce peak network loads. Conventionally, the performance gain of caching was thought to result from making part of the requested data…
This paper presents a new achievable scheme for coded caching systems with $\mathsf{N}$ files, $\mathsf{K}=\mathsf{N}$ users, and cache size $\mathsf{M}=1/(\mathsf{N}-1)$. The scheme employs linear coding during the cache placement phase,…
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…
We consider the secure coded caching problem proposed by Ravindrakumar et. al where no user can obtain information about files other than the one requested. We first propose three new schemes for the three cases of cache size $M=1$, $N=2$…
Caching is emerging as a vital tool for alleviating the severe capacity crunch in modern content-centric wireless networks. The main idea behind caching is to store parts of popular content in end-users' memory and leverage the locally…
Information theoretic analysis of a coded caching system is considered, in which a server with a database of N equal-size files, each F bits long, serves K users. Each user is assumed to have a local cache that can store M files, i.e.,…
Coded caching is a promising technique to create coded multicast opportunities for cache-aided networks. By splitting each file into $F$ equal packets (i.e., the subpacketization level $F$) and letting each user cache a set of packets, the…
The work establishes the exact performance limits of stochastic coded caching when users share a bounded number of cache states, and when the association between users and caches, is random. Under the premise that more balanced…
We investigate the demand private coded caching problem, which is an $(N,K)$ coded caching problem with $N$ files, $K$ users, each equipped with a cache of size $M$, and an additional privacy constraint on user demands. We first present a…
This paper presents a novel achievable scheme for coded caching systems with $N$ files and $K$ users, specifically when $N \leq K$. This new scheme employs linear coding both during the placement phase - where cache contents are linear…
This work investigates the problem of demand privacy against colluding users for shared-link coded caching systems, where no subset of users can learn any information about the demands of the remaining users. The notion of privacy used here…
The study of the fundamental limits of information systems is a central theme in information theory. Both the traditional analytical approach and the recently proposed computational approach have significant limitations, where the former is…
We consider the problem of private information retrieval (PIR) from $N$ non-colluding and replicated databases when the user is equipped with a cache that holds an uncoded fraction $r$ from each of the $K$ stored messages in the databases.…
Caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours, by storing some content at the user's local cache memory, even without knowledge of user's later demands. Maddah-Ali and Niesen proposed a two-phase…
In this paper, we investigate the transmission delay of cache-aided broadcast networks with user cooperation. Novel coded caching schemes are proposed for both centralized and decentralized caching settings, by efficiently exploiting time…
We study a $K$-user coded-caching broadcast problem in a joint source-channel coding framework. The transmitter observes a database of files that are being generated at a certain rate per channel use, and each user has a cache, which can…
In order to characterize the fundamental limit of the tradeoff between the amount of cache memory and the delivery transmission rate of multiuser caching systems, various coding schemes have been proposed in the literature. These schemes…
Coded caching is a recently proposed technique for dealing with large scale content distribution over the Internet. As in conventional caching, it leverages the presence of local caches at the end users. However, it considers coding in 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…
