Abstract
This work introduces a multi-antenna coded caching problem in a two-dimensional multi-access network, where a server with $L$ transmit antennas and $N$ files communicates to $K_1K_2$ users, each with a single receive antenna, through a wireless broadcast link. The network consists of $K_1K_2$ cache nodes and $K_1K_2$ users. The cache nodes, each with capacity $M$, are placed on a rectangular grid with $K_1$ rows and $K_2$ columns, and the users are placed regularly on the square grid such that a user can access $r^2$ neighbouring caches in a cyclic wrap-around fashion. For a given cache memory $M$, the goal of the coded caching problem is to serve the user demands with a minimum delivery time. We propose a solution for the aforementioned coded caching problem by designing two arrays: a caching array and a delivery array. Further, we present two classes of caching and delivery arrays and obtain corresponding multi-access coded caching schemes. The first scheme achieves a normalized delivery time (NDT) $\frac{K_1K_2(1-r^2\frac{M}{N})}{L+K_1K_2\frac{M}{N}}$. The second scheme achieves an NDT $\frac{K_1K_2(1-r^2\frac{M}{N})}{L+K_1K_2r^2\frac{M}{N}}$ when $M/N=1/K_1K_2$ and $L=K_1K_2-r^2$, which is optimal under uncoded placement and one-shot delivery.
