The work considers the K-user cache-aided shared-link broadcast channel where each user has access to exactly z caches of normalized size, and where each cache assists exactly
z users. For this setting, for two opposing memory regimes, we propose novel caching and coded delivery schemes which maximize the local caching gain, and achieve a coding gain larger than 1+K (users served at a time) despite the fact that the total cache redundancy remains K irrespective of z. Interestingly, when z = K−1 K  , the derived optimal coding gain is K z + 1, matching the performance of a hypothetical scenario where each user has its own dedicated cache of size z.
