A cache-aided compression problem with perfect privacy is studied, where a server has access to a database of $N$ files, $(Y_1,...,Y_N)$, each of size $F$ bits. The server is connected to $K$ users through a shared link, where each user has…

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…

The distributed coded caching problem has been studied extensively in the recent past. While the known coded caching schemes achieve an improved transmission rate, they violate the privacy of the users since in these schemes the demand of…

We consider distributed and dynamic caching of coded content at small base stations (SBSs) in an area served by a macro base station (MBS). Specifically, content is encoded using a maximum distance separable code and cached according to a…

We study the role of coded side information in single-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR). An instance of the single-server PIR problem includes a server that stores a database of $K$ independently and uniformly distributed messages,…

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…

Coded caching is an effective technique to reduce the redundant traffic in wireless networks. The existing coded caching schemes require the splitting of files into a possibly large number of subfiles, i.e., they perform coded subfile…

Coded caching scheme provides us an effective framework to realize additional coded multicasting gain by exploiting coding into multiple transmitted signals. The goal of coded caching design is to jointly optimize the placement and delivery…

To address the massive growth of data traffic over cellular networks, increasing spatial reuse of the frequency spectrum by the deployment of small base stations (SBSs) has been considered. For rapid deployment of SBSs in the networks,…

We consider the problem of private linear computation (PLC) in a distributed storage system. In PLC, a user wishes to compute a linear combination of $f$ messages stored in noncolluding databases while revealing no information about the…

The performance of existing \emph{coded caching} schemes is sensitive to worst channel quality, a problem which is exacerbated when communicating over fading channels. In this paper we address this limitation in the following manner:…

Cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) communications can boost network throughput. By pre-downloading contents to local caches of users, the content requested by a user can be transmitted via D2D links by other users in proximity. Prior…

Most results on coded caching focus on a static scenario, in which a fixed number of users synchronously place their requests from a content library, and the performance is measured in terms of the latency in satisfying all of these…

A distributed storage system (DSS) needs to be efficiently accessible and repairable. Recently, considerable effort has been made towards the latter, while the former is usually not considered, since a trivial solution exists in the form of…

In wireless caching networks, a user generally has a concrete purpose of consuming contents in a certain preferred category, and requests multiple contents in sequence. While most existing research on wireless caching and delivery has…

A decentralized coded caching scheme based on independent random content placement has been proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, and has been shown to achieve an order-optimal memory-load tradeoff when the file size goes to infinity. It was…
