Decentralized coded caching is studied for a content server with $N$ files, each of size $F$ bits, serving $K$ active users, each equipped with a cache of distinct capacity. It is assumed that the users' caches are filled in advance during…
In this work, the peak rate of the caching problem is investigated, under the scenario that the users are with small buffer sizes and the number of users is no less than the amount of files in the server. A novel coded caching strategy is…
Existing proactive caching policies are designed by assuming that all users request contents with identical activity level at uniformly-distributed or known locations, among which most of the policies are optimized by assuming that user…
We consider load balancing problem in a cache network consisting of storage-enabled servers forming a distributed content delivery scenario. Previously proposed load balancing solutions cannot perfectly balance out requests among servers,…
Emerging heterogeneous wireless architectures consist of a dense deployment of local-coverage wireless access points (APs) with high data rates, along with sparsely-distributed, large-coverage macro-cell base stations (BS). We design a…
Caching is a technique to reduce the communication load in peak hours by prefetching contents during off-peak hours. An information-theoretic framework for coded caching was introduced by Maddah-Ali and Niesen in a recent work, where it was…
In this paper, we consider multiple cache-enabled clients connected to multiple servers through an intermediate network. We design several topology-aware coding strategies for such networks. Based on topology richness of the intermediate…
Existing decentralized coded caching solutions cannot guarantee small loads in the general scenario with arbitrary file sizes and cache sizes. In this paper, we propose an optimization framework for decentralized coded caching in the…
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 $MF$…
We study the throughput and delay characteristics of wireless caching networks, where users are mainly interested in retrieving content stored in the network, rather than in maintaining source-destination communication. Nodes are assumed to…
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…
We consider the problem of \emph{secretive coded caching} in a shared cache setup where the number of users accessing a particular \emph{helper cache} is more than one, and every user can access exactly one helper cache. In secretive coded…
With the rapid explosion of data volume from mobile networks, edge caching has received significant attentions as an efficient approach to boost content delivery efficiency by bringing contents near users. In this article, cache-enabled…
This paper studies the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with random demands. Under nonuniform file popularity, we thoroughly characterize the optimal uncoded cache placement structure for the coded caching scheme (CCS).…
Recently coded caching has emerged as a promising means to handle continuously increasing wireless traffic. However, coded caching requires users to cooperate in order to minimize the overall transmission rate. How users with heterogeneous…
A centralized coded caching system, consisting of a server delivering N popular files, each of size F bits, to K users through an error-free shared link, is considered. It is assumed that each user is equipped with a local cache memory with…
Caching of popular content on wireless nodes is recently proposed as a means to reduce congestion in the backbone of cellular networks and to improve Quality of Service. From a network point of view, the goal is to offload as many users as…
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…
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…
This paper investigates the fundamental tradeoff between cache size and download time in the (H;r;M;N) combination network, where a server with N files is connected to H relays (without caches) and each of the K:=\binom{H}{r} users (with…
