边缘缓存的蜂窝网络私有信息检索

Private Information Retrieval From a Cellular Network With Caching at the Edge

Siddhartha Kumar, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Eirik Rosnes, Linda Senigagliesi

摘要:

我们考虑从蜂窝网络下载内容的问题,其中内容被缓存在无线边缘,同时实现隐私。特别地,我们考虑从文件库中进行内容的私有信息检索(PIR),即,用户希望下载文件并且不希望网络了解关于她感兴趣的文件的任何信息。为了减少回程的使用,内容被缓存在无线边缘的一些小小区基站(SBS)使用最大距离可分离的代码。我们提出了一个PIR计划,这种情况下,实现对一些间谍SBS(可能)合作的隐私。所提出的PIR方案是Kumar等人最近引入的方案的扩展。多码率的情况下,适合于文件具有不同流行度的场景。然后,我们推导出回程速率并优化内容放置以使其最小化。我们证明了均匀的内容放置是最佳的,即,所有被高速缓存的文件都应该使用相同的码率来存储。这与不需要PIR的情况相反。此外,我们用数字表明,流行的内容放置在某些情况下是最佳的。

英文摘要:

We consider the problem of downloading content from a cellular network where content is cached at the wireless edge while achieving privacy. In particular, we consider private information retrieval (PIR) of content from a library of files, i.e., the user wishes to download a file and does not want the network to learn any information about which file she is interested in. To reduce the backhaul usage, content is cached at the wireless edge in a number of small-cell base stations (SBSs) using maximum distance separable codes. We propose a PIR scheme for this scenario that achieves privacy against a number of spy SBSs that (possibly) collaborate. The proposed PIR scheme is an extension of a recently introduced scheme by Kumar et al. to the case of multiple code rates, suitable for the scenario where files have different popularities. We then derive the backhaul rate and optimize the content placement to minimize it. We prove that uniform content placement is optimal, i.e., all files that are cached should be stored using the same code rate. This is in contrast to the case where no PIR is required. Furthermore, we show numerically that popular content placement is optimal for some scenarios.
