We consider the problem of optimizing time averages in systems with independent and identically distributed behavior over renewal frames. This includes scheduling and task processing to maximize utility in stochastic networks with variable length scheduling modes. Every frame, a new policy is implemented that affects the frame size and that creates a vector of attributes. An algorithm is developed...
The information and communications technologies world is migrating towards the Future Internet (FI) era. Operators will have increased complexity to address in the FI era, compared to today, in the management of their infrastructure and services. This is due to the extended set of applications that should be supported and to the more options offered by the infrastructure. Cognitive management systems...
In this paper, we study the joint power allocation and relay selection problem for multi-user amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative networks. To increase the system's spectral efficiency under the orthogonal transmission assumption, each source-destination pair is constrained to be assisted by a small subset of a set of available relays. The aim of this work is to establish a framework that determines...
This paper investigates the problem of multiuser packet scheduling and resource allocation for video transmission over downlink OFDMA networks. A cross-layer optimization function is proposed with the goal to maximize the received video quality. Unlike the previous methods in which the objective function is estimated the video quality in the unit of bit, the proposed algorithm develop the objective...
Energy efficiency has become increasingly important to mobile systems on which wireless interfaces are among the largest power consumers. While existing physical layer power optimization mostly focuses on improving the transmission efficiency, our recent work has showed that wireless interfaces can spend most of its time and energy in very short idle periods between transmitting two packets [9]. In...
In this paper, we provide a framework for enhancing radio resource management (RRM) in 3G long term evolution (LTE) systems with cognitive features. By exploiting the capabilities of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) LTE access technology, network segments are capable of properly adapting to the environment conditions by applying RRM algorithms for optimized sub-carriers' assignment,...
The field of application of the IEEE P1900.4 standard is radio systems forming a composite wireless network, i.e., comprising multiple Radio Access Networks (RANs), which may be using different Radio Access Technologies (RATs). This composite wireless network is assumed to be operated by either a single or several operators. End-user terminals in P1900.4 are generally assumed to be multimode/multihoming,...
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...
