In this work, we study a noiseless broadcast link serving $K$ users whose requests arise from a library of $N$ files. Every user is equipped with a cache of size $M$ files each. It has been shown that by splitting all the files into packets and placing individual packets in a random independent manner across all the caches, it requires at most $N/M$ file transmissions for any set of demands from the library. The achievable delivery scheme involves linearly combining packets of different files following a greedy clique cover solution to the underlying index coding problem. This remarkable multiplicative gain of random placement and coded delivery has been established in the asymptotic regime when the number of packets per file $F$ scales to infinity. In this work, we initiate the finite-length analysis of random caching schemes when the number of packets $F$ is a function of the system parameters $M,N,K$. Specifically, we show that existing random placement and clique cover delivery schemes that achieve optimality in the asymptotic regime can have at most a multiplicative gain of $2$ if the number of packets is sub-exponential. Further, for any clique cover based coded delivery and a large class of random caching schemes, that includes the existing ones, we show that the number of packets required to get a multiplicative gain of $frac{4}{3}g$ is at least $O((N/M)^g)$. We exhibit a random placement and an efficient clique cover based coded delivery scheme that approximately achieves this lower bound. We also provide tight concentration results that show that the average (over the random caching involved) number of transmissions concentrates very well requiring only polynomial number of packets in the rest of the parameters.

The coded caching problem with secrecy constraint i.e., the users should not be able to gain any information about the content of the files that they did not demand, is known as the secretive coded caching problem. This was proposed by Ravindrakumar et al. in the paper titled ``Private Coded Caching that appeared in emph{ IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security}, 2018 and is characterised by subpacketization levels growing exponentially with the number of users. In the context of coded caching without secrecy, coded caching schemes at subexponential subpacketization levels are feasible by representing the caching system in the form of a Placement Delivery Array (PDA) and designing placement and delivery policies from it. Motivated by this, we propose a secretive coded caching scheme with low subpacketization using PDA, for users with dedicated caches in the centralized setting. When our scheme is applied to a special class of PDA known as MN PDA, the scheme proposed by Ravindrakumar et al. is recovered.
We consider the coded caching problem with an additional privacy constraint that a user should not get any information about the demands of the other users. We first show that a demand-private scheme for $N$ files and $K$ users can be obtained from a non-private scheme that serves only a subset of the demands for the $N$ files and $NK$ users problem. We further use this fact to construct a demand-private scheme for $N$ files and $K$ users from a particular known non-private scheme for $N$ files and $NK-K+1$ users. It is then demonstrated that, the memory-rate pair $(M,min {N,K}(1-M/N))$, which is achievable for non-private schemes with uncoded transmissions, is also achievable under demand privacy. We further propose a scheme that improves on these ideas by removing some redundant transmissions. The memory-rate trade-off achieved using our schemes is shown to be within a multiplicative factor of 3 from the optimal when $K < N$ and of 8 when $Nleq K$. Finally, we give the exact memory-rate trade-off for demand-private coded caching problems with $Ngeq K=2$.
In this paper, we consider the coded-caching broadcast network with user cooperation, where a server connects with multiple users and the users can cooperate with each other through a cooperation network. We propose a centralized coded caching scheme based on a new deterministic placement strategy and a parallel delivery strategy. It is shown that the new scheme optimally allocate the communication loads on the server and users, obtaining cooperation gain and parallel gain that greatly reduces the transmission delay. Furthermore, we show that the number of users who parallelly send information should decrease when the users caching size increases. In other words, letting more users parallelly send information could be harmful. Finally, we derive a constant multiplicative gap between the lower bound and upper bound on the transmission delay, which proves that our scheme is order optimal.
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 studies device to device (D2D) coded-caching with information theoretic security guarantees. A broadcast network consisting of a server, which has a library of files, and end users equipped with cache memories, is considered. Information t heoretic security guarantees for confidentiality are imposed upon the files. The server populates the end user caches, after which D2D communications enable the delivery of the requested files. Accordingly, we require that a user must not have access to files it did not request, i.e., secure caching. First, a centralized coded caching scheme is provided by jointly optimizing the cache placement and delivery policies. Next, a decentralized coded caching scheme is developed that does not require the knowledge of the number of active users during the caching phase. Both schemes utilize non-perfect secret sharing and one-time pad keying, to guarantee secure caching. Furthermore, the proposed schemes provide secure delivery as a side benefit, i.e., any external entity which overhears the transmitted signals during the delivery phase cannot obtain any information about the database files. The proposed schemes provide the achievable upper bound on the minimum delivery sum rate. Lower bounds on the required transmission sum rate are also derived using cut-set arguments indicating the multiplicative gap between the lower and upper bounds. Numerical results indicate that the gap vanishes with increasing memory size. Overall, the work demonstrates the effectiveness of D2D communications in cache-aided systems even when confidentiality constraints are imposed at the participating nodes and against external eavesdroppers.
