Cache-Enabled Interference Cancellation for Wireless Device-to-Device Caching Networks

초록

Wireless device-to-device (D2D) caching networks are studied, in which n nodes are distributed uniformly at random over the network area. Each node caches M files from the library of size m \geq M and independently requires a file from the library. Each request will be served by cooperative D2D transmission from other nodes having the requested file in their cache memories. In many practical sensor or IoT networks, there may exist simple sensor or IoT devices that are not able to perform real-time rate and power control based on the reported channel quality information (CQI). Hence, it is assumed that each node transmits a file with a fixed rate and power so that an outage is inevitable. To improve the outage-based throughput, a cache-enabled interference cancellation (IC) technique is proposed for cooperative D2D file delivery, which first performs IC utilizing cached files at each node as side information and then performs successive IC of strongly interfering files. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly improves the overall throughput and, furthermore, such gain is universally achievable for various caching placement strategies such as random caching and probabilistic caching. © 2019 IEEE.
