In a two-way wireless relay network, two nodes communicate with each other through a relay, and throughput is enhanced by the relay transmitting a linear combination of the messages received from the two sources either at the bit level (digital network coding) or the signal level (analog network coding). In this paper, we solve for the fraction of time resources allocated to each transmission mode...
In this paper we propose an algorithm to achieve hard delay constraints in OFDMA systems. The resource scheduler has to ensure that delay deadlines of the packets get achieved and the resources are also not under utilized. This is a very difficult task since the channel and packet arrival in user queues are time varying in nature. The instantaneous decisions of scheduler depend on current as well...
Wormhole switching technology is widely used in High Performance Computer (HPC) systems. The delay estimation of wormhole switching is mainly focused on average packet delay. But in order to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees, we should analyze the end-to-end delay bound of wormhole switching. Based on models of Credit Stall and Switch Allocation Stall, we use arrival curve to constrain the...
IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard of Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN), which provides the communications in short distance, low data rate, low power consumption. In IEEE 802.15.4 a guaranteed time slot (GTS) structure is defined to support high quality of service (QoS) to time-critical traffic. However, the transmission bandwidth of GTS may be wasted because of the inefficient allocation...
Resource allocation in a virtualized environment is a difficult task. It is seen as an optimization problem to maximize the utilization of physical resources. In this paper, we present a non- cooperative game for concurrent instances of a virtual router in order to better allocate the router's physical resources. We use a market-based approach and game theory to maximize the utilization of router's...
Based on IEEE 802.15.4, a contention-free period (CFP) adopts guarantee time slot (GTS) mechanism to ensure each device can access the radio channel. However, it is hard to get the authority to access the radio channel due to more competitors access the radio channel simultaneously. To cope with this issue, we proposed a guarantee time slot mechanism to enhance the performance and utilization of using...
A new quality of service (QoS) enhancement scheme for IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) protocol is developed. It uses a combination of an adaptive access category (AC) traffic allocation, incorporated into the network's wireless side, and weighted round robin (WRR) queuing scheduling mechanism, incorporated into the wired side of the network. The adaptive traffic allocation...
We present an analytical model for a random resource allocation and scheduling scheme for non-real-time polling service (nrtPS) traffic in IEEE 802.16e network. We adopt two system assumptions; unsaturation condition for the queue of each mobile station, and random amount of resources in a frame for each nrt-PS traffic, which are realistic for practical network systems. By jointly considering the...
Traditionally, event centric Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications treat all events with equal importance, implicitly assuming that all events have same priority. However, in real world applications events may have different level of severity and sensitivity based on their cost of potential damage, occurrence location and frequency. Such applications demand that a detection scheme adopt differentiated...
Resource allocation play an important role in service composition for cloud-based video surveillance platform. In this platform, the utilization of computational resources is managed through accessing various services from Virtual Machine (VM) resources. A single service accessed from VMs running inside such a cloud platform may not cater the application demands of all surveillance users. Services...

Finally, the Repast software is used for constructing above multi-agent...
Routing for Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are challengeable for the continuously varied network environment. Most of existing DTN routing algorithms mainly focus on metrics such as delay, hop count and bandwidth, etc. Green communication is a new focus with the goal of saving energy by optimizing network performance and ultimately protecting the natural climate. In this paper, we present an Energy-efficient...
As the size and complexity of embedded systems are growing, the area cost and performance of the LSI circuits are becoming more crucial. A critical bottleneck for them is interconnections such as multiplexers (MUXs). Thus, a hardware synthesis technique for reducing MUXs, especially during the earlier design phase, has been demanded. This paper presents a novel MUX reduction technique in high-level...
Joint congestion control and scheduling has been widely applied to resource allocation in multi-hop wireless networks. Existing algorithms usually rely on seamless cooperation between network components to seek the optimal solution. However, this is unrealistic considering the presence of time delay and channel capacity perturbation in real wireless environments. The stability and efficiency of these...
The optimal allocation of Communication-Intensive Applications is a well-know complex issue in Clouds. This kind of applications, due to the strong impact of communications on their performance, requires not only that their tasks are allocated on resources able to satisfy their computational requirements but also that the distance among these resources, in terms of communication delay or latency,...
The heavy tailed nature in dynamic spectrum networks challenges the applicability of conventional network stability criterions. To encounter this, a new stability criterion, namely moment stability, is introduced, which requires that the queue length of each secondary user has finite moments for every achievable order. Then, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a resource allocation...
Network resources are often limited, so how to use them efficiently is an issue that arises in many important scenarios. Many recent proposals rely on a central controller to carefully orchestrate resources across multiple network locations. The central controller gathers network information and relative levels of usage of different resources and calculates optimized task allocation arrangements to...
In this paper, we present an approach to bounded optimal planning and flexible execution for a robot team performing a set of spatially distributed tasks related by temporal ordering constraints such as precedence or synchronization. Furthermore, the manner in which the temporal constraints are satisfied impacts the overall utility of the team, due to the existence of both routing and delay costs...
Multimedia communications over Wireless Local Area Networks like hotspots, are a challenging issue due to the best-effort nature of Internet communications. In a previous work we introduced a Dual-Queue Rate-Controlled mechanism for Access Points (DRAP) in a Hotspot scenario. DRAP has shown to provide some Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to audio and video traffic flows in the presence of TCP...
