Distributed Rate Allocation for Wireless Networks

Distributed Resource Allocation in Competitive Wireless Networks

Distributed media rate allocation in multipath networks

The paper addresses the distributed path computation and rate allocation problems for video delivery over multipath networks. The streaming rate on each path is determined such that the end-to-end media distortion is minimized, when a media client aggregates packets received via multiple network channels to the streaming server. In common practical scenarios, it is, however, difficult for the s...

A unified framework for distributed video rate allocation over wireless networks

When multiple video streams share a wireless network, careful rate allocation is needed to prevent congestion, as well as to balance the video qualities among the competing streams. In this paper, we present a unified optimization framework for video rate allocation over wireless networks. Our framework applies to both unicast and multicast sessions, and accommodates both scalable and nonscalab...

Maximal Utility Rate Allocation for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks

There is currently tremendous interest in deploying energyharvesting wireless sensor networks. Engineering such systems requires striking a careful balance between sensing performance and energy management. Our work addresses this problem through the design and analysis of a harvestingaware utility-based sensing rate allocation algorithm. Based on a network utility formulation, we show that our...

Resource Allocation for Distributed MIMO Multi-hop Wireless Networks

Distributed MIMO technology has gained significant attention in industry and academia recently, due to its ability to increase capacity drastically and its inherent attribute of scalability for wireless mesh networks. In this paper we briefly overview the concept of distributed MIMO and investigate the end-to-end ergodic channel capacity of a distributed MIMO multi-hop network. By formulating t...
