Distributed pricing‐based resource allocation for dense device‐to‐device communications in beyond 5G networks

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...

Decentralised Resource Allocation and Coordination for 5G Cellular Communication Networks

In order to cope with the ever increasing traffic load that networks will need to support, a new approach for planning cellular networks deployments should be followed. Traditionally, cell association and resource allocation has been based on the received signal power but this approach seems to be inadequate regarding the brewing of heterogeneous networks. In this work, we first implement a net...

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 Competitive Wireless Networks

Location-aware Communications for 5G Networks

5G networks will be the first generation to benefit from location information that is sufficiently precise to be leveraged in wireless network design and optimization. We argue that location information can aid in addressing several of the key challenges in 5G, complementary to existing and planned technological developments. These challenges include an increase in traffic and number of devices...
