When Exploiting Individual User Preference Is Beneficial for Caching at Base Stations
Most of prior works optimize caching policies based on the following
assumptions: 1) every user initiates request according to content popularity,
2) all users are with the same active level, and 3) users are uniformly located
in the considered region. In practice, these assumptions are often not true. In
this paper, we explore the benefit of optimizing caching policies for base
stations by exploiting user preference considering the spatial locality and
different active level of users. We obtain optimal caching policies,
respectively minimizing the download delay averaged over all file requests and
user locations in the network (namely network average delay), and minimizing
the maximal weighted download delay averaged over the file requests and
location of each user (namely maximal weighted user average delay), as well as
minimizing the weighted sum of both. The analysis and simulation results show
that exploiting heterogeneous user preference and active level can improve user
fairness, and can also improve network performance when users are with spatial
locality.Comment: Accepted by IEEE ICC 2018 Workshop on Information-Centric Edge
