Fundamentals of two user-centric architectures for 5G: device-to-device communication and cache-aided interference management

Abstract

We focus on the fundamental limits of two possible architectures in fifth-generation mobile networks (5G) that bring connectivity and contents closer to the users in the network. In particular, we study the problem of interference management in wireless device-to-device (D2D) communication systems and cache-aided wireless networks. For D2D networks, we first focus on the so-called ""low-interference"" regime
