Cognitive WMNs: A Distributed Mechanism for Leasing Cellular Network Bandwidth

We study flow optimization in cognitive Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) that do not possess any bandwidth of their own, but rather judiciously lease bandwidth from a collocated cellular network (CN). We develop a distributed mechanism that such WMNs can use to optimize their traffic given their own traffic needs and the cost that the CN is charging for the use of its bandwidth. We evaluate the mec...

Asynchronous Leasing

Leasing is a very effective way to improve the performance of distributed algorithms without hampering their fault-tolerance. The notion of lease has traditionally been defined using a global notion of real time and was hence strongly tied to synchronous system models. This paper introduces a notion of lease object devised for an asynchronous system model. We give precise properties of our leas...

An Auction-Based Spectrum Leasing Mechanism for Mobile Macro-Femtocell Networks of IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision of the upcoming society. It can provide pervasive communication between two or more entities using 4G-LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication technology. In 4G-LTE networks, there are two important problems: helping manage the spectrum demands of IoT devices and achieving much more revenue with the limited resource. This paper proposes a pricing framewor...

Facility Leasing with Penalties

In this paper we study the facility leasing problem with penalties. We present a primaldual algorithm which is a 3-approximation, based on the algorithm by Nagarajan and Williamson for the facility leasing problem [NW13] and on the algorithm by Charikar et al. for the facility location problem with penalties [CKMN01].
