  The combination of edge caching and coded multicasting is a promising
approach to improve the efficiency of content delivery over cache-aided
networks. The global caching gain resulting from content overlap distributed
across the network in current solutions is limited due to the increasingly
personalized nature of the content consumed by users. In this paper, the
cache-aided coded multicast problem is generalized to account for the
correlation among the network content by formulating a source compression
problem with distributed side information. A correlation-aware achievable
scheme is proposed and an upper bound on its performance is derived. It is
shown that considerable load reductions can be achieved, compared to state of
the art correlation-unaware schemes, when caching and delivery phases
specifically account for the correlation among the content files.
