An Improved Multi-access Coded Caching with Uncoded Placement
share
In this work, we consider a slight variant of well known coded caching problem, referred as multi-access coded caching problem, where each user has access to z neighboring caches in a cyclic wrap-around way. We present a placement and delivery scheme for this problem, under the restriction of uncoded placement. Our work is a generalization of one of the cases considered in "Multi-access coded caching : gains beyond cache-redundancy" by B. Serbetci, E. Parrinello and P. Elia. To be precise, when our scheme is specialized to z=K-1/K γ, for any K γ, where K is the number of users and γ is the normalized cache size, we show that our result coincides with their result. We show that for the cases considered in this work, our scheme outperforms the scheme proposed in "Rate-memory trade-off for multi-access coded caching with uncoded placement" by K. S. Reddy and N. Karamchandani, except for some special cases considered in that paper. We also show that for z= K-1, our scheme achieves the optimal transmission rate.
