Resource allocation problems are concerned with the allocation of limited resources among competing activities so as to achieve the best performances. However, in systems which serve many users there is a need to respect some fairness rules while looking for the overall efficiency. The so-called Max-Min Fairness is widely used to meet these goals. However, allocating the resource to optimize th...

simultaneous routing and resource allocation has been considered in wireless networks for its performance improvement. in this paper we propose a cross-layer optimization framework for worst-case queue length minimization in some type of fdma based wireless networks, in which the the data routing and the power allocation problem are jointly optimized with fuzzy distributed h∞ control strategy ....

Offering Grid services in an open market determines an optimization case for finding the best suitable resource allocation for a given number of requests and existing resources. Thus, appropriate resource allocation schemes, supporting accounting, are required in addition to a pricing scheme, which supports financial fairness criteria. The newly developed Resource Allocation Model Developed for...

In this paper a novel cross layer resource allocation for downlink transmission with heterogeneous traffic in wireless networks is developed. The problem of efficient resource allocation for multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing over Rayleigh fading channels is addressed. Subcarrier and power allocation are carried out sequentially to reduce the complexity. Assuming that the base...

We study joint rate control and resource allocation with a packet collision constraint that maximizes the total utility of secondary users in cognitive radio networks. We formulate and decouple the original optimization problem into separable subproblems and then develop an algorithm that converges to optimal rate control and resource allocation. The proposed algorithm can operate on different ...

We consider the adaptive resource allocation problem in downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system with strict packet delay constraints in the range of 1 < D < ∞. In this range of delay constraints, resource optimization has to be simultaneously performed over multiple time slots. Thus optimal allocation decisions require future Channel State Information (CSI) and pac...

Motivated by a project in health care management, we study the resource allocation problem in multisite service systems with inter-site customer flows. We aim at providing insights to and guidelines for resource allocation in these service systems when some service criterion, such as average waiting time, loss rate, or blocking probability, is a major concern. We develop analytical optimization...

To receive a project contract through competitive bidding, contractors submit a bid price determined by putting a markup on the estimated project cost. Since a bid is inevitably affected by an inaccurate cost estimate, sufficient resources should be allocated to cost estimation. This paper develops a novel optimization model for determining the bid markup and the resource allocation for cost es...

In order to solve the problem of unbalanced industrial development, promote industrial structure optimization and guide the orderly transfer of industries, Guangdong Province issued Decision on Promoting Industry Transfer and Labor Force Transfer and a series of other supporting policies. This article aims to analyze the framework, practical significance and effect of industrial transfer and la...
