Joint Optimization of Content Placement and User Association in Cache-Enabled Heterogeneous Cellular Networks Based on Flow-Level Models

Cache-enabled heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) have been investigated extensively to alleviate backhaul congestion and reduce content delivery delay. In this paper, we jointly optimize content placement and user association to minimize the average content delivery delay in cache-enabled HCNs b...
