Network resource allocation for competing multiple description transmissions

Optimal and Fair Resource Allocation for Multiuser Wireless Multimedia Transmissions

This paper presents an optimal and fair strategy for multiuser multimedia radio resource allocation (RRA) based on coopetition, which suggests a judicious mixture of competition and cooperation. We formulate the co-opetition strategy as sum utility maximization at constraints from both Physical (PHY) and Application (APP) layers. We show that the maximization can be solved efficiently employing...

Resource Allocation for Multiple Concurrent In-network Stream-Processing Applications

This paper investigates the operator mapping problem for in-network stream-processing applications. In-network stream-processing amounts to applying one or more trees of operators in steady-state, to multiple data objects that are continuously updated at different locations in the network. The goal is to compute some final data at some desired rate. Different operator trees may share common sub...

Resource Allocation Games with Multiple Resource Classes

We define and study a resource-allocation game, arising in Media on Demand (MoD) systems where users correspond to self-interested players who choose a MoD server. A server provides both storage and broadcasting needs. Accordingly, the user’s cost function encompasses both positive and negative congestion effects. A system in our model consists of m identical servers and n users. Each user is a...
