Coded Caching, proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN), has the potential to reduce network traffic by pre-storing content in the users' local memories when the network is underutilized and transmitting coded multicast messages that…
The performance of existing coded caching schemes is sensitive to the worst channel quality, a problem which is exacerbated when communicating over fading channels. In this paper, we address this limitation in the following manner: in…
The decentralized coded caching was introduced in [M.~A. Maddah-Ali and U.~Niesen, `Decentralized coded caching attains order-optimal memory-rate tradeoff,' \emph{IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking}, vol.~23, no.~4, pp. 1029--1040, Aug. 2015] in…
Coded caching schemes are used to reduce computer network traffics in peak time. To determine the efficiency of the schemes, \cite{MN} defined the information rate of the schemes and gave a construction of optimal coded caching schemes.…
Recently, Muralidhar et al. proposed a novel multi-access system model where each user is connected to multiple caches in a manner that follows the well-known combinatorial topology of combination networks. For such multi-access topology,…
This paper considers heterogeneous coded caching where the users have unequal distortion requirements. The server is connected to the users via an error-free multicast link and designs the users' cache sizes subject to a total memory…
Centralized coded caching of popular contents is studied for users with heterogeneous distortion requirements, corresponding to diverse processing and display capabilities of mobile devices. Users' distortion requirements are assumed to be…
The demand private coded caching problem in a multi-access network with $K$ users and $K$ caches, where each user has access to $L$ neighbouring caches in a cyclic wrap-around manner, is studied. The additional constraint imposed is that…
This paper investigates the fundamental tradeoff between cache size and download time in the (H;r;M;N) combination network, where a server with N files is connected to H relays (without caches) and each of the K:=\binom{H}{r} users (with…
A centralized coded caching scheme has been proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen to reduce the worst-case load of a network consisting of a server with access to N files and connected through a shared link to K users, each equipped with a…
Caching is a promising solution to satisfy the ever increasing demands for the multi-media traffics. In caching networks, coded caching is a recently proposed technique that achieves significant performance gains over the uncoded caching…
Coded caching (CC) exploits cumulative cache memory at user devices and coding to transform unicast traffic into multicast transmissions. While information theoretic results show significant gains over uncoded caching for various network…
This work identifies the fundamental limits of cache-aided coded multicasting in the presence of the well-known `worst-user' bottleneck. This stems from the presence of receiving users with uneven channel capacities, which often forces the…
In a content delivery network (CDN), resources are strained during peak-time and underutilised in off-peak times when supplying digital content to users. Caching can help balance this. At the off-peak time some content is delivered to…
We consider a basic content distribution scenario consisting of a single origin server connected through a shared bottleneck link to a number of users each equipped with a cache of finite memory. The users issue a sequence of content…
We study the caching problem when we are allowed to match each user to one of a subset of caches after its request is revealed. We focus on non-uniformly popular content, specifically when the file popularities obey a Zipf distribution. We…
Large gains in the rate of cache-aided broadcast communication are obtained using coded caching, but to obtain this most existing centralized coded caching schemes require that the files at the server be divisible into a large number of…
In this work, we study coded placement in caching systems where the users have unequal cache sizes and demonstrate its performance advantage. In particular, we propose a caching scheme with coded placement for three-user systems that…
The original coded caching scenario assumes a content library that is of interest to all receiving users. In a realistic scenario though, the users may have diverging interests which may intersect to various degrees. What happens for…
We consider the classical uncoded caching problem from an online learning point-of-view. A cache of limited storage capacity can hold $C$ files at a time from a large catalog. A user requests an arbitrary file from the catalog at each time…
