Partially-Distributed Resource Allocation in Small-Cell Networks

Bicriteria Resource Allocation Problem in Pert Networks

We develop a bicriteria model for the resource allocation problem in PERT networks, in which the total direct costs of the project as the first objective, and the mean of project completion time as the second objective are minimized. The activity durations are assumed to be independent random variables with either exponential or Erlang distributions, in which the mean of each activity duration ...

Distributed Resource Allocation in 5G Cellular Networks

The fifth generation (5G) cellular networks are expected to provide wide variety of high rate (i.e., 300 Mbps and 60 Mbps in downlink and uplink, respectively, in 95 percent of locations and time [1]) multimedia services. The 5G communication platform is seen as a global unified standard with seamless connectivity among existing standards, e.g., High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Long Term Evolut...

Distributed Resource Allocation in Competitive Wireless Networks

Resource Allocation of Two-relay Networks with Partially Differential Modulation

Relay networks enhance the system performance by creating cooperative diversity gain and extend communication range by relaying the received signal to other devices. In this paper, the performance of two-relay networks is analyzed by adopting decode-andforward (DF) relaying protocol. The signaling scheme uses partially differential modulation which applies coherent modulation in source-relays l...

Adaptive Distributed Resource Allocation in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as a promising technology for a wide range of important applications. A major research challenge in this field is the distributed resource allocation problem, which concerns how the limited resources in a wireless sensor network should be allocated or scheduled to minimize costs and maximize the network capability. In this paper, we propose the Adaptive Dis...
