Coded caching and device-to-device (D2D) communication are two effective techniques for alleviating network traffic. Secure transmission and file privacy have also become critical concerns in these domains. However, prevailing coded caching…

We introduce the \emph{Private Structured-Subset Retrieval (PSSR)} problem, where a user retrieves $D$ messages from a database of $K$ messages replicated across $N$ non-colluding servers, and the demand is restricted to a known structured…

Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients", open a set of at most $k$ facilities to minimize the average distance from the clients to these facilities. This is just the well-studied $k$-median…

We consider the problem of multi-access cache-aided multi-user Private Information Retrieval (MuPIR). In this problem, several files are replicated across multiple servers. There are $K$ users and $C$ cache nodes. Each user can access $L$…

We propose a new decentralized coded caching scheme for a two-phase caching network, where the data placed in user caches in the prefetching phase are random portions of a maximal distance separable (MDS) coded version of the original…

We propose capacity-achieving schemes for private information retrieval (PIR) from uncoded databases (DBs) with both homogeneous and heterogeneous storage constraints. In the PIR setting, a user queries a set of DBs to privately download a…

Index coding employs coding across clients within the same broadcast domain. This typically assumes that all clients learn the coding matrix so that they can decode and retrieve their requested data. However, learning the coding matrix can…

Caching is a commonly used technique in content-delivery networks which aims to deliver information from hosting servers to users in the most efficient way. In 2014, Maddah-Ali and Niessen formulated caching into a formal information…

We investigate the multi-access coded caching problem, which involves $N$ files, $K$ users, and $K$ caches in this paper. Each user can access $L$ adjacent caches in a cyclic manner. We present a coded placement scheme for the case of cache…

We study the problem of coded caching when the server has access to several libraries and each user makes independent requests from every library. The single-library scenario has been well studied and it has been proved that coded caching…

We consider a basic caching system, where a single server with a database of $N$ files (e.g. movies) is connected to a set of $K$ users through a shared bottleneck link. Each user has a local cache memory with a size of $M$ files. The…
