Distributed wireless information flow allocation in multiple access networks

Distributed wireless information flow allocation in multiple access networks

We present a general framework for distributed wireless information flow allocation problem in multiple access networks, where the end users (EUs) can seek wireless flows from multiple access points (APs). We aim to minimize the power consumption while satisfying each EU’s minimum data rate requirement but not violating peak power constraint of each AP and interference constraint monitored by r...

The Role of Regulatory in Price Control and Spectrum Allocation to Competing Wireless Access Networks

With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...

Throughput-Optimal Flow Allocation on Multiple Disjoint Paths for Random Access Wireless Multi-hop Networks

In this paper we consider random access wireless multi-hop mesh networks with multi-packet reception capabilities where multiple flows are forwarded to the gateways through node disjoint paths. We address the issue of aggregate throughput optimal flow rate allocation with bounded packet delay guarantees for flows exhibiting both intraand inter-path interference. We propose a distributed flow ra...

Distributed Inference over Multiple-Access Channels with Wireless Sensor Networks

i ABSTRACT Distributed inference has applications in fields as varied as source localization, evaluation of network quality, and remote monitoring of wildlife habitats. In this dissertation, distributed inference algorithms over multiple-access channels are considered. The performance of these algorithms and the effects of wireless communication channels on the performance are studied. In a fir...
