Efficient resource allocation is a critical component in multi-user QoS communications and high speed networks. In this paper, we devise a new mathematical model for the resource allocation problem that takes into account the users' demands in a PHY-MAC cross-layer approach. Incorporating the time axis in our model, the target is to maximize the number of bits transmitted in a given frame rather than...
We propose a resource allocation algorithm for OFDM system to provide QoS guarantee for unicast and multicast service concurrently. The optimization objective is to maximize the sum rate of the unicast service under the constraint of both the total power and the minimal rate provision of the multicast service, which can be solved by traditional two-step approach. To decrease the complexity, a greedy-based...
We address cross-layer optimization (CLO) between link and application layer. Using parameterized models of applications and link layer the application data rates and the wireless radio resource allocation are determined such that the perceived quality of the users is good. Conventional approaches consider the sum of all application utilities or the worst application utility as optimization criterion...
Ubiquitous computing is a worthy environment for autonomic/pervasive computing between users and devices or between devices and devices. To realize ubiquitous computing, supporting seamless mobility ensures continuous services during inter-networking movement without meddling users. For seamless mobility in a heterogeneous networking environment, an adequate service/network configuration is necessary...
This paper investigates effects of pilot assisted channel estimation on dynamic resource allocation in a multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The channel estimation is done in each OFDM symbol through least-squared error (LSE) or minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) algorithm. The performance of each of these algorithms is evaluated through computer simulations. The maximal...
In this paper, we introduce a pricing model that ensures efficient resource allocation that provides guaranteed quality of service while maximizing profit in multiservice networks. Specifically, a dynamic allocation policy is examined that relies on online measurements while each service class operates under a probabilistic bound delay constraint. We present a rigorous analysis of the properties of...
The next generation of wireless networks (4G) will use OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) in the reverse link. In OFDMA, the reverse link resources assigned to a user are called tiles each of which consists of a subset of consecutive subcarriers. Since at most one user is assigned to each of these tiles then reverse link transmissions within a sector are orthogonal. However, the...
