In this paper, we investigate the optimal caching policy in a K-tier millimeter wave (mmWave) cache- enabled heterogeneous network. In order to mitigate interferences, we incorporate base station (BS) idling into our analysis. Under the random caching framework, we derive the association probability for each tier as well as the successful transmission probability (STP) by utilizing stochastic geometry and taking the blockage effect into account. In addition, we adopt the gradient projection method to obtain the locally optimal caching probabilities and propose a two-stage scheme to obtain the globally optimal caching probabilities under the special case where the LOS ranges for K tiers are sufficiently large. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional caching strategies such as Most Popular Content (MPC) and Uniform Caching (UC) schemes.
