A New Converse Bound for Coded Caching

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Chien-Yi Wang

An information-theoretic lower bound is developed for the caching system studied by Maddah-Ali and Niesen. By comparing the proposed lower bound with the decentralized coded caching scheme of Maddah-Ali and Niesen, the optimal memory--rate tradeoff is char ...
