Incentivizing Secure Edge Caching for Scalable Coded Videos in Heterogeneous Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Edge caching has been envisioned as a promising technology in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to proximally cache (video) contents. Nevertheless, as massive resources (e.g., energy, storage, computing, and bandwidth) are consumed to cache contents, edge caching devices (ECDs) are unwilling to provide caching services. In addition, as the ECDs are usually deployed by untrusted third parties, the cached contents may be illegally accessed, which results in the mobile users’ privacy leakage. To efficiently address these problems, in this paper, we propose a novel secure edge caching scheme for video contents in HetNets. Specifically, to motivate the participation of ECDs, the Nash bargaining game is exploited to model the negotiations between the content provider and ECDs, where the optimal requested caching space of the content provider and the optimal caching price of each ECD are jointly analyzed. Apart from this, to protect the content secrecy, scalable video coding is employed to facilitate secure edge caching, where the ECDs are only utilized to cache the enhancement layers that cannot be independently decoded to reconstruct the original contents. Then, we formulate a non-convex 0–1 integer programming problem to optimize the enhancement layer caching on ECDs, and the modified alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is used to solve the problem optimally. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides secure and efficient content caching for mobile users.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
