This paper formulates the job allocation problem in distributed systems with bandwidth-constrained nodes. The bandwidth limitations of the nodes play an important role in the design of cost-optimal job allocation schemes. In this paper, we present a pricing strategy for generalized distributed systems by formulating an incomplete information bargaining game on two variables (price and percentag...

Dynamic bandwidth allocation for VBR video is a critical issue in bandwidth management. While keeping high bandwidth utilization, low complexity and longer effective allocation time are new challenges in future heterogeneous environments due to the mobility of wireless networks. In this paper, a scene-base bandwidth allocation with two-phase scheme (SBATP) is proposed. Desired bandwidth is allo...

In leased line services used by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) the bandwidth is fixed, but the traffic changes dynamically. To address this, we propose an auction method for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth to ISPs sharing backbone networks. By the method, backbone networks can be used effectively as each ISP is able to secure bandwidth according to its own policy. The Internet users can ...

Adaptive bandwidth allocation is becoming more attractive in wireless communications since it can dynamically upgrade or degrade the allocated bandwidth of ongoing calls to cope with the network resource fluctuation. In this paper, we propose a utility-based adaptive bandwidth allocation scheme for multi-class traffic in wireless networks. Our scheme allocates bandwidth to ongoing calls accordi...
