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. For the shared-link caching model, Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN)…
In this paper, we consider a cache aided network in which each user is assumed to have individual caches, while upon users' requests, an update message is sent though a common link to all users. First, we formulate a general information…
Exact-repair regenerating codes are considered for the case (n,k,d)=(4,3,3), for which a complete characterization of the rate region is provided. This characterization answers in the affirmative the open question whether there exists a…
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…
The work by Maddah-Ali and Niesen demonstrated the benefits in reducing the transmission rate in a noiseless broadcast network by joint design of caching and delivery schemes. In their setup, each user learns the demands of all other users…

We consider multi-access coded caching problem introduced by Hachem et.al., where each user has access to $L$ neighboring caches in a cyclic wrap-around fashion. We focus on the deterministic schemes for a specific class of multi-access…
A new single-letter achievable rate region is proposed for the two-user discrete memoryless multiple-access channel(MAC) with noiseless feedback. The proposed region includes the Cover-Leung rate region [1], and it is shown that the…
Degraded K-user broadcast channels (BC) are studied when receivers are facilitated with cache memories. Lower and upper bounds are derived on the capacity-memory tradeoff, i.e., on the largest rate of reliable communication over the BC as a…
