In this thesis, we investigated the coded caching problem by building the connection between coded caching with uncoded placement and index coding, and leveraging the index coding results to characterize the fundamental limits of coded caching problem. We mainly analysed the caching problem in shared-link broadcast model and in combination networks. In the first part of this thesis, for cache-aided shared-link broadcast networks, we considered the constraint that content is placed uncoded within the caches. When the cache contents are uncoded and the user demands are revealed, the caching problem can be connected to an index coding problem. We derived fundamental limits for the caching problem by using tools for the index coding problem. A...
