Abstract

With the rapid development of millions more edge base stations (EBSs) and billions of user devices in the future networks, the desire for low-energy system design and transmission strategy will be even more compelling. In this letter, we investigate the energy consumption issue of hierarchical cooperative caching networks (HCCNs) in which both EBSs and users are capable of storing content data in their local caches. A three-stage coded transmission strategy in HCCNs is proposed, and the closed expression of energy consumption of each stage is derived. In addition, we formulate a total energy consumption minimization problem with the constraint of EBSs’ cache sizes and provide an algorithm to obtain the optimal cache placement matrix. We demonstrate by numerical results that our optimized three-stage coded transmission strategy can achieve lower energy consumption than various multicast transmission strategies under the different users' cache sizes.
