TitlePhysical Layer Multicasting and Caching towards Content-Centric Wireless Networks  

ABSTRACT: 

The driving forces behind the exponential growth in mobile cellular network traffic have fundamentally shifted from being “connection-centric” communications, such as phone calls and text messages, to the explosion of “content-centric” communications, such as video streaming and content sharing. The mobile cellular network architectures of today are, however, still designed with a connection-centric communication mindset. Due to the limited radio spectrum resources, the capacity increase of the current wireless networks will always lag behind the growth rate of mobile traffic.  In this talk, I will first present our view on the key technologies towards the paradigm shift to content-centric wireless communications, namely physical layer multicasting and caching. I will then talk about our recent works on 1) multi-cell cooperative multicast beamforming, 2) massive MIMO multicasting beamforming, and 3) content-centric sparse multicasting beamforming in cache-enabled cloud Radio-Access Networks (CRAN).
