Time division duplex systems, in a convenient way, facilitates the implementation of asymmetrical links required to efficiently handle the increasingly asymmetric traffic offered by current and future wireless applications. If boundaries between uplink and downlink time-slots are not synchronized among cells, e.g. when different asymmetries are required in different cells, inter-base station (I...

OFDMA is the access scheme used in the third and fourth generation wireless cellular networks. Proper allocation of bandwidth and power is essential for ensuring the optimal performance and utilization of the resources in the OFDMA based cellular networks. The resource allocation in uplink direction and downlink directional will need different approaches. In uplink direction, different categori...

Device-to-Device (D2D) communications are expected to improve user experience and network efficiency. Cellular and underlaying D2D communications will share the same cellular spectrum, and radio resource allocation policies are hence necessary to avoid their mutual interference. Most of the proposed policies are centralized schemes, and the base station decides the allocated radio resources. Ce...

Federated distributed systems present new challenges to resource management, which cannot be met by conventional systems that employ relatively static resource models and centralized allocators. We previously argued that Matchmaking provides an elegant and robust resource management solution for these highly dynamic environments [5]. Although powerful and flexible, multiparty policies (e.g., co...

In practice, many problems can be modeled by resource allocation problems. However, even if their aim is often to identify a resource distribution maximizing a given objective, different approaches exist. Many solving techniques only focus on the best resource distribution. Such approaches consider resources from one side and agents on the other side. It is the case for all centralized techniqu...

the task of optimally assigning military ordinance to enemy targets, often termed weapon target allocation (wta) problem, has become a major focus of modern military thought where a cost effective allocation is required without degrading the required kill performance. the paper presents three main weapon allocation techniques namely uniform weapon allocation, first-in-first weapon allocation an...

Population games have become a powerful tool for solving resource-allocation problems in a distributed manner, and for the design of non-centralized optimization-based controllers. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the advantages of two recently introduced population-game approaches in comparison to other classical optimization methods. More specifically, the discussion is mainly devoted t...
