Abstract
Proactive edge caching, as a promising approach to accommodate the explosively increased mobile data demand of Video on demand (VoD) service, has received extensive attention. However, although targeted to VoD service, existing caching policies are mainly designed for file downloading service while the unique requirement of quality of experience (QoE) for VoD service has been seldom considered. Aimed at maximizing the weighted average QoE of VoD service, this paper optimizes the proactive edge caching polices including the cached fraction and encoding bit rate of every video. We consider a two-tier network, where the helpers equipped with caching resource are deployed in the coverage area of traditional base stations. We formulate the caching optimization problems and show their hidden convexity properties, then we find that the optimal caching policy is determined by the weighted popularity-to-duration ratio of videos. Based on the result, we develop a low-complexity algorithm to find the optimal caching policy. Simulation results demonstrate evident performance gain of the proposed policy over the existing policy for VoD service.
