To address the exponentially rising demand for wireless content, use of caching is emerging as a potential solution. It has been recently established that joint design of content delivery and storage (coded caching) can significantly…
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…
We propose a new coding scheme, called the delayed coding (DC) scheme, for channels with insertion, deletion, and substitution (IDS) errors. The proposed scheme employs delayed encoding and non-iterative detection and decoding strategies to…
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…
A major practical limitation of the Maddah-Ali-Niesen coded caching techniques is their high subpacketization level. For the simple network with a single server and multiple users, Yan \emph{et al.} proposed an alternative scheme with the…
Improved lower bounds on the average and the worst-case rate-memory tradeoffs for the Maddah-Ali&Niesen coded caching scenario are presented. For any number of users and files and for arbitrary cache sizes, the multiplicative gap between…
This paper considers the secretive coded caching problem with shared caches in which no user must have access to the files that it did not demand. In a shared cache network, the users are served by a smaller number of helper caches and each…
The work identifies the fundamental limits of coded caching when the K receiving users share {\Lambda}$\leq$ K helper-caches, each assisting an arbitrary number of different users. The main result is the derivation of the exact optimal…
Coded Caching is an efficient technique to reduce peak hour network traffic. One limitation of known coded caching schemes is that the demands of all users are revealed to their peers in the delivery phase. Schemes that assure privacy for…
Coded caching scheme originally proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MN) considered a broadcast network consisting of a single server connected to a set of users each having a cache memory. Motivated by practical scenarios, Karamchandani…
We introduce a neighborhood-based data access model for distributed coded storage allocation. Storage nodes are connected in a generic network and data is accessed locally: a user accesses a randomly chosen storage node, which subsequently…
In cache-aided networks, the server populates the cache memories at the users during low-traffic periods, in order to reduce the delivery load during peak-traffic hours. In turn, there exists a fundamental trade-off between the delivery…
Under the paradigm of caching, partial data is delivered before the actual requests of users are known. In this paper, this problem is modeled as a canonical distributed source coding problem with side information, where the side…
We consider the centralized coded caching system where a library of files is available at the server and their subfiles are cached at the clients as prescribed by a placement delivery array (PDA). We are interested in the problem where a…
The multi-access variant of the coded caching problem in the presence of an external wiretapper is investigated . A multi-access coded caching scheme with $K$ users, $K$ caches and $N$ files, where each user has access to $L$ neighbouring…
Recently it was shown that the seminal Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN) coded caching scheme leaks the demand information of each user to the others. Many works have considered coded caching with demand privacy, while each non-trivial existing…
Coded caching utilizes proper file subpacketization and coded delivery to make full use of the multicast opportunities in content delivery, to alleviate file transfer load in massive content delivery scenarios. Most existing work considers…
In the coded caching problem, as originally formulated by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, a server communicates via a noiseless shared broadcast link to multiple users that have local storage capability. In order for a user to decode its demanded…
We apply the coded caching scheme proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen to a multipoint multicasting video paradigm. Partially caching the video files on the wireless devices provides an opportunity to decrease data traffic load in peak hours…
In the original coded caching model introduced by Maddah-Ali and Niesen in 2014, the server starts broadcasting only after it receives demands from all the users. So, all the users must be active during the delivery phase. In this work, we…
