Broadcasting systems such as P2P streaming systems represent important network applications that support up to millions of online users. An efficient broadcasting mechanism is at the core of the system design. Despite substantial efforts on developing efficient broadcasting algorithms, the following important question remains open: How to achieve the maximum broadcast rate in a distributed manner...
In this paper we understand BitTorrent protocol from a Markov approximation perspective. We show that together with the underlying rate control algorithm, the rarest first algorithm and choking algorithm in BitTorrent protocol implicitly solve a cooperative combinatorial network utility maximization problem in a distributed manner. This understanding allows us to access properties of BitTorrent from...
Existing work on cross-layer optimization for wireless networks adopts simple physical-layer models, i.e., treating interference as noise. In this paper, we adopt a deterministic channel model proposed in, a simple abstraction of the physical layer that effectively captures the effect of channel strength, broadcast and superposition in wireless channels. Within the Network Utility Maximization (NUM)...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the key component of many emerging broadband wireless access standards. The resource allocation in OFDM uplink, however, is challenging due to heterogeneity of users' quality of service requirements, channel conditions, and individual resource constraints. We formulate the resource allocation problem as a non-strictly convex optimization problem,...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with dynamic resource allocation is widely considered to be a key component of most emerging broadband wireless access networks. However, resource allocation in an OFDM system is complicated, especially in the uplink due to the heterogeneity of the users' subchannel conditions, individual resource constraints and application requirements. We formulate...
