We consider a network consisting of a file server connected through a shared link to a number of users, each equipped with a cache. Knowing the popularity distribution of the files, the goal is to optimally populate the caches such as to…
Coded caching is a technique that leverages locally cached contents at the users to reduce the network's peak-time communication load. Coded caching achieves significant performance gains compared to uncoded caching schemes and is thus a…
One of the paramount advantages of multi-level cache-enabled (MLCE) networks is pushing contents proximity to the network edge and proactively caching them at multiple transmitters (i.e., small base-stations (SBSs), unmanned aerial vehicles…
Optimal caching of files in a content distribution network (CDN) is a problem of fundamental and growing commercial interest. Although many different caching algorithms are in use today, the fundamental performance limits of network caching…

In multi-access edge computing (MEC) systems, there are multiple local cache servers caching contents to satisfy the users' requests, instead of letting the users download via the remote cloud server. In this paper, a multi-cell content…
The coded caching scheme originally proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MAN) transmits coded multicast messages from a server to users equipped with caches via a capacitated shared-link and was shown to be information theoretically optimal…
