contents We consider a coded caching system in which some users are offline at the time of delivery. Such systems are called hotplug coded caching systems. A placement delivery array (PDA) is a well-known tool for constructing a coded caching scheme for dedicated caches. In this paper, we introduce the concept of PDAs for hotplug coded caching schemes and refer to it as a hotplug placement delivery array (HpPDA). We give an algorithm to describe the placement and the delivery phase of a hotplug coded caching scheme using HpPDA. We show that an existing hotplug coded caching scheme given by Y. Ma and D. Tuninetti in 2022 corresponds to a class of HpPDAs and then propose a method to further improve the rate of that scheme. Additionally, we construct a class of HpPDAs using $t$-designs, which corresponds to a scheme for hotplug coded caching systems. We further improve the rate of this scheme and prove that the cut-set bound is achieved in some higher memory range for a hotplug coded caching system with three active users.
