Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, by a radio network controller, a ranking for each of a plurality of received objects using a plurality of similarity graphs for a plurality of base stations, wherein the plurality of received objects include data files received from at least one of the plurality of base stations, the ranking calculated by min f ∈ ℛ n ⁢ 1 2 ⁢ f T ⁢ Lf + M ⁢ ∑ i , j ⁢ η i , j ⁢ ∑ l ⁢ ( ζ ⁢ D il ∑ k ⁢ D kl + D il ′ ∑ k ⁢ D kl ′ ) ⁢ W i ⁢ C il - ( ζ ⁢ D jl ∑ k ⁢ D kl + D jl ′ ∑ k ⁢ D kl ′ ) ⁢ W j ⁢ C jl subject to 
 f i −f j ≥1−n ij, (1) 
 n ij ≥0∀i,j   (2) where each object I i has a bandwidth W i ; C il units of cost is associated with unit transfer of item I i from the radio network controller to base station B l ; there is a premium demand D′ il and a non-premium demand D il for I i at base station B l ; ζ>1 represents a weight assigned to the premium demand; n ij represents a corresponding Lagrangian coefficient; L represents a Laplacian matrix of a graph; and M is a coefficient of a regularizer, which is introduced to avoid overfitting; extracting, by the radio network controller, a common structure by collaborative filtering data associated with a plurality of user devices and the plurality of received objects; analyzing, by the radio network controller, the common structure to infer usage patterns within a time slot; and storing, by the radio network controller, a subset of the ranked objects of the plurality of received objects in response to the analysis, wherein storing the subset of the ranked objects of the plurality of received objects further comprises cooperatively storing the subset of higher ranked objects across a plurality of base stations wherein the objects are assigned to base stations according to the ranking.
