Coded caching is a promising technique to create coded multicast opportunities for cache-aided networks. By splitting each file into $F$ equal packets (i.e., the subpacketization level $F$) and letting each user cache a set of packets, the…

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…

Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN) in 2014 surprisingly showed that it is possible to serve an arbitrarily large number of cache-equipped users with a constant number of transmissions by using coded caching in shared-link broadcast networks. This…

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…

We consider a cache network in which a single server is connected to multiple users via a shared error free link. The server has access to a database with $N$ files of equal length $F$, and serves $K$ users each with a cache memory of $MF$…
