Access Management in Joint Sensing and Communication Systems: Efficiency versus Fairness

Fairness versus Efficiency

Fairness is a strong concern as shown by dictator and ultimatum experiments. Efficiency, measured by the sum of individual payoffs, is a potentially competing concern in games such as the prisoners’ dilemma. In our experiment participants can increase efficiency by gift giving. In the one-sided treatment this is only possible for one of the two partners. The two-sided treatment allows for mutua...

Online Case Resolution Systems: Enhancing Access, Fairness, Accuracy, and Efficiency

Multistatic cloud radar systems: joint sensing and communication design

In a multistatic cloud radar system, receive sensors measure signals sent by a transmit element and reflected from a target and possibly clutter, in the presence of interference and noise. The receive sensors communicate over non-ideal backhaul links with a fusion center, or cloud processor, where the presence or absence of the target is determined. The backhaul architecture can be characterize...

Joint Allocation of Computational and Communication Resources to Improve Energy Efficiency in Cellular Networks

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is a new technology that has been developed to overcome the restrictions of smart mobile devices (e.g. battery, processing power, storage capacity, etc.) to send a part of the program (with complex computing) to the cloud server (CS). In this paper, we study a multi-cell with multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system in which the cell-interior users request service...

Scheduling for efficiency and fairness in systems with redundancy

Server-side variability—the idea that the same job can take longer to run on one server than another due to server-dependent factors—is an increasingly important concern in many queueing systems. One strategy for overcoming server-side variability to achieve low response time is redundancy, under which jobs create copies of themselves and send these copies to multiple different servers, waiting...
