    Definitive treatment of the separation theorem. Theorem 1 achievability and Theorem 2 converse are the analytical core.

  • Broadcast channel capacity

    The classical theory of degraded BC capacity and superposition coding. Pre-requisite for this chapter.

  • Heterogeneous caches and fairness

    K. Wan and G. Caire, 'Coded Caching with Heterogeneous Cache Sizes,' IEEE Trans. IT 2020

    Extends JLEC to non-uniform cache sizes. Relevant for deployments where different user tiers get different cache budgets.

  • Rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA)

    B. Clerckx et al., 'A Primer on Rate-Splitting Multiple Access,' IEEE WCL

    A practical scheme closely related to JLEC's superposition mechanism. Useful for understanding deployable variants.
