Abstract
It is generally considered that Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) is a promising solution for 5G and the network is going to turn into user centric. Caching popular contents at the edge of network is an efficient way to reduce the energy consumption and data traffic of backhaul link. But most of current researches on caching in UDN fail to take into account of user centric and energy efficiency performance during caching files delivery process. In this paper, we consider an User-centric Ultra-Dense Network (UUDN) with cache-enabled Small Base Stations (SBSs) and investigate the energy efficiency of cooperative caching in UUDN. In order to achieve energy efficiency during delivery, we design a novel SBS grouping rule and a cooperative caching scheme based fragmentation with the consideration of user mobility. We formulate an energy optimization problem on caching and introduce coalition formation game to simplify and solve our optimization objective. Then we analyze the impacts of system parameters on the overall performance and compare our scheme to some other schemes. Numerical results demonstrate our scheme is energy efficient and outperforms the others.
