Bandwidth reservation for real-time networks offers an approach for real-time networking in an Ethernet or IP setting. Reservation of bandwidth must be agreed between receivers and senders in such a network and send rates be limited accordingly, to avoid collisions and over-allocation of bandwidth. The work in this paper aims at avoiding problems with a centralized bandwidth broker for resource...

Motivated by scheduling in multi-cell wireless networks and resource allocation in computer systems, we study a service facility with two types of users (or jobs) having heterogeneous size distributions. Our model may be viewed as a parallel two-server model, where either both job types can be served in parallel, each by a dedicated server, or both servers are simultaneously allocated to one ty...

Despite the importance of resource allocation issues, there is no systematic, comprehensive and detailed survey on approaches in fog-computing context. In this article, we provide a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) fog environments form classical taxonomy to recognize state-of-the-art mechanisms important topic open issues. The presented categorized into three main fields: centralized allocat...

resource leveling and allocation are two basic categories for project management. the objective of resource allocation is to schedule activities so that a particular resource does not exceed a specific limit in any given project time period, while holding the project duration to a minimum. the resource leveling problem arises when there are sufficient resources available and it is necessary to ...

In this work, we consider the problem of joint relay selection and resource allocation in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems which provides both cognitive radio and relaying scheme capabilities. We assume that the total network is deployed in an overlay scheme where the primary user communicates via a relay assisted LTE-A network, some of the secondary users play the relaying role and...
