| contents | Coded caching (CC) can transform cache memory at network devices into an active communication resource. Prior studies have shown that CC can significantly enhance the achievable Degrees of Freedom (DoF) in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. To fully exploit MIMO-CC gains across all SNR regimes and enable practical linear receivers, flexible scheduling is required. Existing DoF analysis, scheduling, and linear receiver design, however, largely assume symmetric stream allocations across users. This paper extends the authors' recent work on DoF and linear decodability analysis for MIMO-CC systems by deriving a simple criterion, based on per-user stream allocation, that guarantees linear decodability for both symmetric and non-symmetric bit-level CC schemes. Building on this, we propose a heuristic MIMO-CC delivery and scheduling framework that enables asymmetric stream allocation while adhering to linear decodability, thereby expanding the feasibility region of achievable DoF compared to symmetric-constrained designs. |
