Abstract
The strong interference suffered by users can be a severe problem in cache-enabled networks (CENs) due to the content-centric user association mechanism. To tackle this issue, multi-antenna technology may be employed for interference management. In this paper, we consider a user-centric interference nulling (IN) scheme in two-tier multi-user multi-antenna CEN, with a hybrid most-popular and random caching policy at macro base stations (MBSs) and small base stations (SBSs) to provide file diversity. All the interfering SBSs within the IN range of a user are requested to suppress the interference at this user using zero-forcing beamforming. Using stochastic geometry analysis techniques, we derive a tractable expression for the area spectral efficiency (ASE). A lower bound on the ASE is also obtained, with which we then consider ASE maximization, by optimizing the caching policy and IN…
