This paper relates to the problem statement of distribution of heterogeneous information and communication system capacity among multiple service flows. We consider the case study of multi-commodity flow problem in terms of utility functions maximization. This approach differs from previously known by separating the optimization problem into layers based on Bellman's Principle of Optimality. It simplifies...
In this paper, a win-win cooperative strategy is designed for two pairs of users, i.e., a primary user pair and a secondary user pair, competing resources in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network. The primary users aim to achieve given target rates with the help of a relay to overcome bad channel conditions, where one secondary user is selected as the relay to improve the overall...
In this paper, we introduce SCOR (Software-defined Constrained Optimal Routing), a new SDN Northbound Interface for QoS routing and traffic engineering. SCOR is based on constraint programming techniques and is implemented in the MiniZinc modelling language. It provides a powerful, high level abstraction, consisting of 9 basic constraint programming predicates. A key feature of SCOR is that it is...
Lately the concepts of smart cities, smart highways and automated vehicles have been rigorously promoted in literature and it depends on the maturity of technology based on VANET (Vehicular Adhoc Network). Even though VANET can be considered as an enabling networking technology to realize smart capabilities in congested city scenarios. However there are many challenges linked with the network and...
In this study, we address the problem of minimizing the energy consumption in future 5G networks by means of a joint optimization of radio access network (RAN) and multi-hop wireless backhaul network. The objective of the optimization is to operate the network with the smallest set of base stations while meeting the quality of service (QoS) requirements of users. We first pose the optimization problem...
Regarding the bandwidth allocation of IEEE 802.16j two-hop relay networks, a Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm based on the utility optimization is proposed. During the bandwidth allocation process of relay links, DBA algorithm takes the Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements of different services into account by means of utility functions came from economic theories. Under the certain constraints,...
This paper considers an energy-efficient transmit design in a general multiple-input single-output multiple-eavesdropper (MISOME) wiretap channel. Specifically, a transmitter sends one confidential message to a legitimate receiver, which must be kept perfectly secure from several external multi-antenna eavesdroppers. Assuming imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter, our goal is...
We investigate the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem under the scenario of Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks. By jointly considering time-varying channels and stochastic arrivals, we propose a distributed power allocation algorithm for both D2D user groups (DUGs) and cellular user terminals (CUTs) with long- term quality of service (QoS) provision. To effectively...
In this paper, we study joint energy cooperation and traffic management in renewable energy powered cellular system where a centralized unit manages the traffic and the energy cooperation among BSs. We first formulate a stochastic optimization problem which aims at minimizing the total on-grid energy consumption while satisfying the quality-of-service (QoS) requirement of classes of services, i.e...
In this paper, we study the power-efficient resource allocation for multicarrier non-orthogonal multiple access (MC-NOMA) systems. The resource allocation algorithm design is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem which takes into account the statistical channel state information at transmitter and quality of service (QoS) constraints. To strike a balance between system performance and computational...
In this paper, energy-efficient resource allocation algorithms are investigated to improve the energy efficiency (EE) in two-way multi- carrier amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks by ensuring the quality-of-service (QoS) and balancing the EE of the user links. We formulate an EE-balancing optimization problem that maximizes the ratio of the spectral efficiency (SE) and the total network power...
Web API is the lightweight version to the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) service and usually applies REST (Representational State Transfer) as the architectural style. Nowadays, the service-oriented computing paradigm is shifting from the SOAP services to the Web APIs, i.e., RESTful services. Rather than hard coding from scratch, the methodology of service-oriented computing emphasizes identifying...
This paper addresses the problem of maximizing the weighted signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) targets at user terminals in a distributed manner in multicell interference networks. The optimization is constrained to strict individual base station (BS) transmit power limitations in the presence of imperfect channel state information (CSI). This problem is numerically intractable due to...
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have attracted great attention from both academia and industry. In this paper, with recent advances in wireless network virtualization and software- defined networking (SDN), we propose a novel framework for M2M communications in software- defined cellular networks with wireless network virtualization. In the proposed framework, according to different functions...
This paper investigates the problem of the interference among multiple simultaneous transmissions in the downlink channel of a multi- antenna wireless system. A symbol-level precoding scheme is considered, where the data information is used, along with the channel state information, in order to exploit the multi-user interference and transform it into useful power at the receiver side. In this framework,...
Advances in sensor networks enable pervasive health monitoring and patient-specific treatments that take into account the patients medical history, current state, genetic background, and personal habits. However, sensors are often battery power limited and vastly differ in their application related requirements. In this paper, we address both of these problems. Specifically, we study IEEE 802.15.6...
In order to improve the delay quality-of-service aware throughput performance of the optical wireless communications, a joint power allocation and relay selection scheme is proposed for a relay assisted multichannel coherent optical wireless communication system. The proposed joint power allocation and relay selection scheme provides the delay aware quality-of-service guarantee by maximizing the end-to-end...
Cloud computing and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) represent together a promising solution for wireless network operators to improve business agility and cope with the continuing growth in data traffic. Furthermore, the use of edge clouds in association with a centralized cloud, referred to as the edge-central cloud, notably improves user experience while ensuring scalability and load balancing...
Today's indoor wireless networks employ reactive resource allocation methods to provide fair and efficient usage of the communication system. However, their reactive nature limits the quality of service (QoS) that can be offered to the user locations within the environment. In large crowded areas (airports, conferences), networks can get congested and users may suffer from poor QoS. To mitigate this,...
A cloud radio access network (Cloud-RAN) is a network architecture that holds onto the promise of meeting the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. Cloud-RAN consists a central processor (CP) connecting to multiple multi-antenna base stations (BSs) via finite-capacity backhaul links. To reduce the backhaul traffic, BS-level caching technique is utilized in which the popular contents are pre-fetched...
