In an $(H,r)$ combination network, a single content library is delivered to ${Hchoose r}$ users through deployed $H$ relays without cache memories, such that each user with local cache memories is simultaneously served by a different subset of $r$ relays on orthogonal non-interfering and error-free channels. The combinatorial placement delivery array (CPDA in short) can be used to realize a coded caching scheme for combination networks. In this paper, a new algorithm realizing a coded caching scheme for combination network based on a CPDA is proposed such that the schemes obtained have smaller subpacketization levels or are implemented more flexible than the previously known schemes. Then we focus on directly constructing CPDAs for any positive integers $H$ and $r$ with $r<H$. This is different from the grouping method in reference (IEEE ISIT, 17-22, 2018) under the constraint that $r$ divides $H$. Consequently two classes of CPDAs are obtained. Finally comparing to the schemes and the method proposed by Yan et al., (IEEE ISIT, 17-22, 2018) the schemes realized by our CPDAs have significantly advantages on the subpacketization levels and the transmission rates.

In a traditional $(H, r)$ combination network, each user is connected to a unique set of $r$ relays. However, few research efforts to consider $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network problem where each $u$ users are connected to a unique set of $r$ relays. A naive strategy to obtain a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is by $u$ times repeated application of a coded caching scheme for a traditional $(H, r)$ combination network. Obviously, the transmission load for each relay of this trivial scheme is exactly $u$ times that of the original scheme, which implies that as the number of users multiplies, the transmission load for each relay will also multiply. Therefore, it is very meaningful to design a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network with lower transmission load for each relay. In this paper, by directly applying the well known coding method (proposed by Zewail and Yener) for $(H, r)$ combination network, a coded caching scheme (ZY scheme) for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is obtained. However, the subpacketization of this scheme has exponential order with the number of users, which leads to a high implementation complexity. In order to reduce the subpacketization, a direct construction of a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is proposed by means of Combinational Design Theory, where the parameter $u$ must be a combinatorial number. For arbitrary parameter $u$, a hybrid construction of a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is proposed based on our direct construction. Theoretical and numerical analysis show that our last two schemes have smaller transmission load for each relay compared with the trivial scheme, and have much lower subpacketization compared with ZY scheme.
Recently multi-access coded caching schemes with number of users different from the number of caches obtained from a special case of resolvable designs called Cross Resolvable Designs (CRDs) have been reported and a new performance metric called rate-per-user has been introduced cite{KNRarXiv}. In this paper we present a generalization of this work resulting in multi-access coded caching schemes with improved rate-per-user.
In coded caching system we prefer to design a coded caching scheme with low subpacketization and small transmission rate (i.e., the low implementation complexity and the efficient transmission during the peak traffic times). Placement delivery arrays (PDA) can be used to design code caching schemes. In this paper we propose a framework of constructing PDAs via Hamming distance. As an application, two classes of coded caching schemes with linear subpacketizations and small transmission rates are obtained.
This paper considers the multiaccess coded caching systems formulated by Hachem et al., including a central server containing $N$ files connected to $K$ cache-less users through an error-free shared link, and $K$ cache-nodes, each equipped with a cache memory size of $M$ files. Each user has access to $L$ neighbouring cache-nodes with a cyclic wrap-around topology. The coded caching scheme proposed by Hachem et al. suffers from the case that $L$ does not divide $K$, where the needed number of transmissions (a.k.a. load) is at most four times the load expression for the case where $L$ divides $K$. Our main contribution is to propose a novel {it transformation} approach to smartly extend the schemes satisfying some conditions for the well known shared-link caching systems to the multiaccess caching systems. Then we can get many coded caching schemes with different subpacketizations for multiaccess coded caching system. These resulting schemes have the maximum local caching gain (i.e., the cached contents stored at any $L$ neighbouring cache-nodes are different such that the number of retrieval packets by each user from the connected cache-nodes is maximal) and the same coded caching gain as the original schemes. Applying the transformation approach to the well-known shared-link coded caching scheme proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, we obtain a new multiaccess coded caching scheme that achieves the same load as the scheme of Hachem et al. but for any system parameters. Under the constraint of the cache placement used in this new multiaccess coded caching scheme, our delivery strategy is approximately optimal when $K$ is sufficiently large. Finally, we also show that the transmission load of the proposed scheme can be further reduced by compressing the multicast message.
Improved lower bounds on the average and the worst-case rate-memory tradeoffs for the Maddah-Ali&Niesen coded caching scenario are presented. For any number of users and files and for arbitrary cache sizes, the multiplicative gap between the exact rate-memory tradeoff and the new lower bound is less than 2.315 in the worst-case scenario and less than 2.507 in the average-case scenario.
