Coded caching is a technique that promises huge reductions in network traffic in content-delivery networks. However, the original formulation and several subsequent contributions in the area, assume that the file requests from the users are…

Coded caching is a recently proposed technique that achieves significant performance gains for cache networks compared to uncoded caching schemes. However, this substantial coding gain is attained at the cost of large delivery delay, which…

Coded caching is an effective technique to reduce the redundant traffic in wireless networks. The existing coded caching schemes require the splitting of files into a possibly large number of subfiles, i.e., they perform coded subfile…

Caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours by storing some content at the users' local caches. For the shared-link network with end-user-caches, Maddah-Ali and Niesen proposed a two-phase coded…

We propose a new decentralized coded caching scheme for a two-phase caching network, where the data placed in user caches in the prefetching phase are random portions of a maximal distance separable (MDS) coded version of the original…

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…

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…

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…

We consider content delivery over fading broadcast channels. A server wants to transmit K files to K users, each equipped with a cache of finite size. Using the coded caching scheme of Maddah-Ali and Niesen, we design an opportunistic…
