Resource Allocation Policies in SDM Optical Networks

چکیده
The capacity benefits of flexi-grid optical networks are limited by the finite amount of bandwidth of standard fibers, and will not be able to scale indefinitely. Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) has emerged as a promising technology to overcome this limitation. In this preliminary work we give an overview of current SDM technologies, covering coupled and non-coupled SDM networks, and of the possibilities and limitations they bring to the problem of Routing, Space and Spectrum Allocation (RSSA). We focus on the trade-offs between spectral efficiency and amount of transmission devices enabled by SDM technologies, presenting a number of preliminary heuristic policies to solve RSSA, and evaluating them in the context of dynamic traffic by means of simulations. We show that different heuristics can optimize different aspects of RSSA, and that one strikes a reasonable balance.

A New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions
Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...

New generation of wireless networks, LTE and WiMAX, supports many services which consume a lot of resources (such as VOIP, Video Conference, Digital Video, Multimedia streams and online Multi-player Games). Supporting multi-media services in wireless communication systems provide new resource allocation challenges. Because of high loads in downlink, efficient resource allocation is vital in dow...
متن کاملBicriteria 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 ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Close to Optimal Resource Allocation in Centralized Multi-band Wireless Networks
This paper concerns sub-channel allocation in multi-user wireless networks with a view to increasing the network throughput. It is assumed there are some sub-channels to be equally divided among active links, such that the total sum rate increases, where it is assumed each link is subject to a maximum transmit power constraint. This problem is found to be a non-convex optimization problem and i...
