This work considers the cache-aided multiple-input single-output broadcast channel (MISO BC) where an L-antenna transmitter serves K receiving users, each assisted by one of < K caches with normalized capacity. For this setting it was known that in the range of L 2 [K=;K ], one can achieve a Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) performance of L + K. This very restrictive constraint that L K excluded sharedcache settings with a large number of antennas from achieving the maximum DoF; for the more realistic regime of L > K, all existing coded caching schemes suffer substantially reduced caching or multiplexing gains. Our work provides a novel coded caching scheme that achieves the exact best known, near optimal, DoF L+K, and does so even if L > K, thus covering an important hole in identifying the optimal performance for the multi-antenna shared-cache problem. Therefore, our work reveals that shared-cache systems with many transmit antennas can also enjoy both full multiplexing gains (L) as well as full caching gains (K) despite the sharing of the caches. A side benefit of this scheme is its applicability in multi-antenna settings with dedicated users caches, where it can offer the advantage of reducing the subpacketization without sacrificing the DoF performance.
