In this paper, we investigate the joint cache placement and content delivery in satellite-terrestrial integrated cloud radio access networks. We consider the scenario where cache-enabled access points (APs), including multiple base stations (BSs) and one low orbit earth satellite, are connected to a central processor via backhaul links and cooperatively serve users via joint beamforming. To minimize the long-term power consumption, we formulate an optimization problem to jointly optimize the cache placement, AP clustering, and multicast beamforming, while satisfying the constraints on the transmission power, quality-of-service, and caching storage. Since the formulated problem has mixed timescales, it is decoupled into two sub-problems. For the short-term delivery sub-problem, we first reformulate it as an equivalent sparse multicast beamforming problem and approximate the non-convex objective function by a concave smooth function, and then solve it with a convex-concave procedure approach. For the long-term cache placement sub-problem, we propose an alternating based method to tackle it iteratively. Simulation results validate the advantages of our proposed method and show the impacts of different cache capacities and file numbers on the long-term power consumption. |
