In order to investigate the performance of cache-enabled small cell networks, coverage probability is studied in both single-point transmission and cooperative multipoint（Co MP） transmission scenarios. Meanwhile, the caching distribution modeled as Zipf and uniform distribution are both considered. Assuming that small base stations（SBSs） are distributed as a homogeneous Poisson point process（HPPP）, the closed-form expressions of coverage probability are derived in different transmission cases.
