Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) has been viewed as a promising approach to improving spectrum efficiency. With DSA, Wireless Service Providers (WSPs) that operate in fixed spectrum bands allocated through static allocation can solve their short-term spectrum shortage problems resulting from the bursty nature of wireless traffic. Such DSA mechanisms should be coupled with dynamic pricing schem...

We analyze the allocation of objects in a network of caches which collaborate to service requests from customers. A thorough analysis of this problem in centralized and decentralized setups, both of which occur in practice, is essential for understanding the benefits of collaboration. A key insight of this paper is that an efficient implementation of cooperative cache management is possible sin...

Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are a great way to solve complex resource allocation and coordination problems. However, CAs require a central auctioneer who receives the bids and solves the winner determination problem, an NP-hard problem. Unfortunately, a centralized auction is not a good fit for real world situations where the participants have proprietary interests that they wish to remain pri...

in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

introduction: family physician plan in iran was conducted to establish service referral system. its urban step began in 2012 and it was supposed that the effectiveness is enhanced and the costs are reduced. the implementation of this program has faced some challenges, especially in human resources management. the aim of this study was to optimally allocate human resources for urban family physi...

The next generation expected to provide high data rate to handle the huge demand on new dataconsuming applications and services, Also the higher number of connected devices due to using new technologies such as internet of things (IoT) will make the challenge more difficult. New techniques must be used to face this challenges such as base station densification, use new high frequency bands, Mac...

The rapid proliferation of wireless systems makes interference management more and more important. This paper presents a novel cognitive coexistence framework, which enables an infrastructure system to reduce interference to ad-hoc or peer-to-peer communication links in close proximity. Motivated by the superior resources of the infrastructure system, we study how its centralized resource alloc...
