A cache-aided $K$-user Gaussian broadcast channel (BC) is considered. The transmitter has a library of $N$ equal-rate files, from which each user demands one. The impact of the equal-capacity receiver cache memories on the minimum required…
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…
Coded caching has been shown to result in significant throughput gains, but its gains were proved only by assuming a placement phase with no transmission cost. A free placement phase is, however, an unrealistic assumption that could stand…
Conflict-avoiding codes are used in the multiple-access collision channel without feedback. The number of codewords in a conflict-avoiding code is the number of potential users that can be supported in the system. In this paper, a new upper…
We address the worst-user bottleneck of wireless coded caching, which is known to severely diminish cache-aided multicasting gains due to the fundamental worst-channel limitation of multicasting transmission. We consider the quasi-static…
