This paper embarks the first study on exploiting the synergy between vehicular caching and network coding for enhancing the bandwidth efficiency of data broadcasting in heterogeneous vehicular networks by presenting a service architecture that exercises the software defined network concept. In particular, we consider the scenario where vehicles request a set of information and they could be served via heterogeneous wireless interfaces, such as roadside units and base stations (BSs). We formulate a novel problem of coding-assisted broadcast scheduling (CBS), aiming at maximizing the broadcast efficiency for the limited BS bandwidth by exploring the synergistic effect between vehicular caching and network coding. We prove the NP-hardness of the CBS problem by constructing a polynomial-time reduction from the simultaneous matrix completion problem. To efficiently solve the CBS problem, we employ memetic computing, which is a nature inspired computational paradigm for tackling complex problems. Specifically, we propose a memetic algorithm, which consists of a binary vector representation for encoding solutions, a fitness function for solution evaluation, a set of operators for offspring generation, a local search method for solution enhancement, and a repair operator for fixing infeasible solutions. Finally, we build the simulation model and give a comprehensive performance evaluation to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed solution.
