Scalable video coding (SVC) and video caching are two promising techniques in the 5th generation networks to improve the users’ quality of experience (QoE) in terms of video retrieval. In this paper, we study the video content retrieval in cache-aided device-to-device (D2D) networks, where each video content is coded into multiple layers via SVC. In video caching placement phase, the probabilistic caching placement policy is applied, while in content retrieval phase, the non-orthogonal transmission scheme is utilized. Besides, different D2D transmitter selection algorithms are considered and cache-aided data rate (CADR) is formulated as a metric in this paper, and it is maximized by jointly optimizing the probability caching policy and the power allocation policy in two phases. Analytical results show that probabilistic caching policy incorporated with power domain non-orthogonal transmission scheme can achieve significant benefits compared with other benchmark schemes.
