In the traditional (K,L,MT,MU,N) partially connected linear network, a central server stores a library of N files and connects to K+L−1 transmitters, each equipped with a cache of size MT. Each user is connected to L neighboring transmitters and is equipped with a local cache of size MU. Motivated by practical scenarios in which users can access multiple cache nodes, this paper considers a (K,L,r,MT,MC,N) multiaccess cache-assisted partially connected linear network, where each user can access r neighboring cache nodes under a cyclic wrap-around topology, and each cache node has a storage capacity of MC. We propose a general construction framework based on placement delivery arrays (PDAs). The analysis shows that, when the Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MN) scheme is employed and r is sufficiently large, the achieved normalized delivery time (NDT) approaches that of existing schemes for the traditional partially connected linear network. Moreover, under the same aggregate cache size accessible to each user, numerical results demonstrate that, as the cache size ratio increases, the gap between the NDT achieved by the proposed scheme and that of the traditional partially connected linear network scheme gradually diminishes, while the proposed scheme requires a smaller subpacketization level.

In the traditional (H,r,M,N) combination network, a central server storing N files communicates with K=(Hr) users through H cache-less relays. Each user has a local cache of size M files and is connected to a distinct subset of r relays. This paper studies the (H,r,L,Λ,M,N) combination network with multi-access caching, where Λ cache nodes (each of size M files) are available and each user can access L cache nodes. We show that in the regime H≥Λ and r≥L, an achievable design can be obtained via a group-wise operation, which reduces the scheme design within each group to an effective (Λ,L,L,Λ,M,N) instance. For the case Λ=H and L=r, we further propose an explicit coded caching scheme constructed via two array-based representations (a cache-node placement array and a user-retrieve array) and a derived combinatorial placement delivery array (CPDA) based on the Maddah-Ali–Niesen (MN) placement strategy. Numerical comparisons using the user-retrievable cache ratio as the evaluation metric indicate that the proposed scheme approaches the converse bound of the traditional combination network, and the performance gap diminishes as the cache ratio increases.
