We investigate the service-rate region (SRR) of distributed storage systems that employ linear codes. We focus on systems where each server stores one code symbol, and a user recovers a data symbol by accessing any of its recovery groups,…
We consider the canonical {\em shared link network} formed by a source node, hosting a library of $m$ information messages (files), connected via a noiseless common link to $n$ destination nodes (users), each with a cache of size M files.…
Large-scale distributed storage systems typically use erasure codes to provide durability of data in the face of failures. A set of $k$ blocks to be stored is encoded using an $[n, k]$ code to generate $n$ blocks that are then stored on…
Coded caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours by storing some content at the user's local cache memory without knowledge of later demands. The goal of coded caching design is to minimize the…
An early paper by Rashmi et. al. presented the construction of an $(n,k,d=n-1)$ MBR regenerating code featuring the inherent double replication of all code symbols and repair-by-transfer (RBT), both of which are important in practice. We…
Quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) require high encoding rate in addition to high threshold unless a sufficiently large number of physical qubits are available. The many-hypercube (MHC) codes defined as the concatenation of the…
This work identifies the fundamental limits of Multi-Access Coded Caching (MACC) where each user is connected to multiple caches in a manner that follows a generalized combinatorial topology. This topology stands out as it allows for…
In an $(n,k,d)$ rack-aware storage model, the system consists of $n$ nodes uniformly distributed across $\bar{n}$ successive racks, such that each rack contains $u$ nodes of equal capacity and the reconstructive degree satisfies…
Coded distributed computing (CDC), proposed by Li \emph{et al.}, offers significant potential for reducing the communication load in MapReduce computing systems. In cascaded CDC with $K$ nodes, $N$ input files, and $Q$ output functions,…
An $(n, k, d, \alpha, \beta, M)$-ERRC (exact-repair regenerating code) is a collection of $n$ nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size $M$, each node stores $\alpha$ symbols, any $k$ nodes recover the file, and any $d$ nodes…
In an $(H,r)$ combination network, a single content library is delivered to ${H\choose r}$ users through deployed $H$ relays without cache memories, such that each user with local cache memories is simultaneously served by a different…
Regenerating codes for distributed storage have attracted much research interest in the past decade. Such codes trade the bandwidth needed to repair a failed node with the overall amount of data stored in the network. Minimum storage…
We consider a cache-aided interference network which consists of a library of $N$ files, $K_T$ transmitters and $K_R$ receivers (users), each equipped with a local cache of size $M_T$ and $M_R$ files respectively, and connected via a…
The paper is devoted to the problem of erasure coding in distributed storage. We consider a model of storage that assumes that nodes are organized into equally sized groups, called racks, that within each group the nodes can communicate…
We consider load balancing problem in a cache network consisting of storage-enabled servers forming a distributed content delivery scenario. Previously proposed load balancing solutions cannot perfectly balance out requests among servers,…
The distributed index coding problem is studied, whereby multiple messages are stored at different servers to be broadcast to receivers with side information. First, the existing composite coding scheme is enhanced for the centralized…
We investigate coding schemes that map source symbols into multisets of an alphabet set. Such a formulation of source coding is an alternative approach to the traditional framework and is inspired by an object tracking problem over…
We consider replication-based distributed storage systems in which each node stores the same quantum of data and each data bit stored has the same replication factor across the nodes. Such systems are referred to as balanced distributed…
We study the connections between three seemingly different combinatorial structures - "uniform" brackets in statistics and probability theory, "containers" in online and distributed learning theory, and "combinatorial Macbeath regions", or…
