We study the problem of multi-access coded caching (MACC): a central server has $N$ files, $K$ ($K \leq N$) caches each of which stores $M$ out of the $N$ files, $K$ users each of which demands one out of the $N$ files, and each user…

The tradeoff between the user's memory size and the worst-case download time in the $(H,r,M,N)$ combination network is studied, where a central server communicates with $K$ users through $H$ immediate relays, and each user has local cache…
