The size of computer networks, along with their bandwidths, is growing exponentially. To support these large, high-speed networks, it is neccessary to be able to forward packets in a few microseconds. One part of the forwarding operation…
This paper considers peer-to-peer scheduling for a network with multiple wireless devices. A subset of the devices are mobile users that desire specific files. Each user may already have certain popular files in its cache. The remaining…
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…
We consider a wireless device-to-device (D2D) network where $n$ nodes are uniformly distributed at random over the network area. We let each node with storage capacity $M$ cache files from a library of size $m \geq M$. Each node in the…
The use of existing network devices as relays has a potential to improve the overall network performance. In this work, we consider a two-hop wireless relay setting, where the channels between the source and relay nodes to the destination…
In wireless caching networks, the design of the content delivery method must consider random user requests, caching states, network topology, and interference management. In this paper, we establish a general framework for content delivery…
In cellular networks, the densification of connected devices and base stations engender the ever-growing traffic intensity, and caching popular contents with smart management is a promising way to alleviate such consequences. Our research…
In this work, we study the impact of a relay node to a network with a finite number of users-sources and a destination node. We assume that the users have saturated queues and the relay node does not have packets of its own; we have random…
We analyze the performance of an interference-limited, decode-and-forward, cooperative relaying system that comprises a source, a destination, and $N$ relays, placed arbitrarily on the plane and suffering from interference by a set of…
This paper investigates two strategies to reduce the communication delay in future wireless networks: traffic dispersion and network densification. A hybrid scheme that combines these two strategies is also considered. The probabilistic…
The tradeoff between the user's memory size and the worst-case download time in the $(H,r,M,N)$ combination network is studied, where a central server communicates with $K$ users through $H$ immediate relays, and each user has local cache…
Network densification with small cell base stations is a promising solution to satisfy future data traffic demands. However, increasing small cell base station density alone does not ensure better users quality-of-experience and incurs high…
Caching in multi-cell networks faces a well-known dilemma, i.e., to cache same contents among multiple edge nodes (ENs) to enable transmission cooperation/diversity for higher transmission efficiency, or to cache different contents to…
We study the content delivery problem between a transmitter and two receivers through erasure links, when each receiver has access to some random side-information about the files requested by the other user. The random side-information is…
Network coding has the potential to improve the overall throughput of a network by combining different streams of data and forwarding them. In wireless networks, the wireless channel provide an excellent medium for physical layer network…
We study security in partial repair in wireless caching networks where parts of the stored packets in the caching nodes are susceptible to be erased. Let us denote a caching node that has lost parts of its stored packets as a sick caching…
In wireless networks relay nodes can be used to assist the users' transmissions to reach their destination. Work on relay cooperation, from a physical layer perspective, has up to now yielded well-known results. This paper takes a different…
