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.…

Coded caching systems have been widely studied to reduce the data transmission during the peak traffic time. In practice, two important parameters of a coded caching system should be considered, i.e., the rate which is the maximum amount of…

In a secure coded caching system, a central server balances the traffic flow between peak and off-peak periods by distributing some public data to the users' caches in advance. Meanwhile, these data are securely protected against the…

We consider the data shuffling problem in a distributed learning system, in which a master node is connected to a set of worker nodes, via a shared link, in order to communicate a set of files to the worker nodes. The master node has access…

We propose a new caching scheme where linear combinations of the file segments are cached at the users, for the cases where the number of files is no greater than the number of users. When a user requests a certain file in the delivery…

We consider the classical coded caching problem as defined by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, where a server with a library of $N$ files of equal size is connected to $K$ users via a shared error-free link. Each user is equipped with a cache with…

The centralized coded caching scheme is a technique proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen as a solution to reduce the network burden in peak times in a wireless system. Later Yan et al. reformulated the problem as designing a corresponding…
