Increasing the Performance of 5g Networks by Combining Caching and Multicast

Abstract

One of the major goals of the 5G technology roadmap is to create disruptive innovation for the efficient use of the radio spectrum to enable rapid access to bandwidth-intensive multimedia services over wireless networks. The biggest challenge towards this goal lies on the difficulty in exploiting the multicast nature of the wireless channel in the presence of wireless multiple users that rarely access the same data at the same time period.
