Coded caching is an information theoretic scheme to reduce high peak hours traffic by partially prefetching files in the users local storage during low peak hours. This paper considers heterogeneous decentralized caching systems where cache…
In this paper, we consider a coded caching scenario where users have heterogeneous interests. Taking into consideration the system model originally proposed by Wang and Peleato, for which the end-receiving users are divided into groups…
We address a centralized caching problem with unequal cache sizes. We consider a system with a server of files connected through a shared error-free link to a group of cache-enabled users where one subgroup has a larger cache size than the…
This paper aims to characterize the memory-rate tradeoff for decentralized caching under nonuniform file popularity and size. We consider a recently proposed decentralized modified coded caching scheme (D-MCCS) and formulate the cache…
A multi-user private data compression problem is studied. A server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits and is connected to an encoder. The encoder is connected through an unsecured link to a user.…
Consider the communication efficient secret sharing problem. A dealer wants to share a secret with $n$ parties such that any $k\leq n$ parties can reconstruct the secret and any $z<k$ parties eavesdropping on their shares obtain no…
Coded caching (CC) can substantially enhance network performance by leveraging memory as an additional communication resource. However, the use of CC is challenging in various practical applications due to dynamic user behavior. The…
Caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours, by storing some content at the user's local cache memory, even without knowledge of user's later demands. Maddah-Ali and Niesen proposed a two-phase…
We study a $K$-user coded-caching broadcast problem in a joint source-channel coding framework. The transmitter observes a database of files that are being generated at a certain rate per channel use, and each user has a cache, which can…
Local caching is an effective scheme for leveraging the memory of the mobile terminal (MT) and short range communications to save the bandwidth usage and reduce the download delay in the cellular communication system. Specifically, the MTs…
We consider a basic content distribution scenario consisting of a single origin server connected through a shared bottleneck link to a number of users each equipped with a cache of finite memory. The users issue a sequence of content…
Cache-aided content delivery is studied in a multi-server system with $P$ servers and $K$ users, each equipped with a local cache memory. In the delivery phase, each user connects randomly to any $\rho$ out of $P$ servers. Thanks to the…
The deployment of small cells is expected to gain huge momentum in the near future, as a solution for managing the skyrocketing mobile data demand growth. Local caching of popular files at the small cell base stations has been recently…
Caching is a crucial component of many computer systems, so naturally it is a well-studied topic in algorithm design. Much of traditional caching research studies cache management for a single-user or single-processor environment. In this…
We study the problem of coded caching with nonuniform file popularity under the setting where the popularity distribution is initially unknown. By reframing the problem, we propose a method inspired by an algorithm from the…
Coded caching is able to exploit accumulated cache size and hence superior to uncoded caching by distributing different fractions of a file in different nodes. This work investigates coded caching in a large-scale small-cell network (SCN)…
We study the ON-OFF privacy problem. At each time, the user is interested in the latest message of one of $N$ sources. Moreover, the user is assumed to be incentivized to turn privacy ON or OFF whether he/she needs it or not. When privacy…
We study the problem of private function retrieval (PFR) in a distributed storage system. In PFR the user wishes to retrieve a linear combination of $M$ messages stored in non-colluding $(N,K)$ MDS coded databases while revealing no…
This paper studies a novel multi-access coded caching (MACC) model in the two-dimensional (2D) topology, which is a generalization of the one-dimensional (1D) MACC model proposed by Hachem et al. The 2D MACC model is formed by a server…
In this paper, storage efficient caching based on time domain buffer sharing is considered. The caching policy allows a user to determine whether and how long it should cache a content item according to the prediction of its random request…
