This work studies the $K$-user broadcast channel with $\Lambda$ caches, when the association between users and caches is random, i.e., for the scenario where each user can appear within the coverage area of -- and subsequently is assisted…
This work studies a well-known shared-cache coded caching scenario where each cache can serve an arbitrary number of users, analyzing the case where there is some knowledge about such number of users (i.e., the topology) during the content…
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…

We consider load balancing problem in a cache network consisting of storage-enabled servers forming a distributed content delivery scenario. Previously proposed load balancing solutions cannot perfectly balance out requests among servers,…
Content delivery networks often employ caching to reduce transmission rates from the central server to the end users. Recently, the technique of coded caching was introduced whereby coding in the caches and coded transmission signals from…
Caching is crucial for system performance, but the delayed hit phenomenon, where requests queue during lengthy fetches after a cache miss, significantly degrades user-perceived latency in modern high-throughput systems. While prior works…
The work explores the fundamental limits of coded caching in heterogeneous networks where multiple ($N_0$) senders/antennas, serve different users which are associated (linked) to shared caches, where each such cache helps an arbitrary…
A centralized coded caching system, consisting of a server delivering N popular files, each of size F bits, to K users through an error-free shared link, is considered. It is assumed that each user is equipped with a local cache memory with…
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…
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…
This work identifies the fundamental limits of Multi-Access Coded Caching (MACC) where each user is connected to multiple caches in a manner that follows a generalized combinatorial topology. This topology stands out as it allows for…
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…
Coded caching is used to reduce network congestion during peak hours. A single server is connected to a set of users through a bottleneck link, which generally is assumed to be error-free. During non-peak hours, all the users have full…

Caching at the base stations (BSs) has been widely adopted to reduce the delivery delay and alleviate the backhaul traffic between BSs and the core network. In this paper, we consider a collaborative content caching scheme among BSs in…
