Credit transfer protocols are being designed and implemented in market-based resource allocation infrastructures. The design details of these protocols determine the accesscontrol policies that can be expressed and the trading patterns that can be supported. A protocol that enables fine grained manipulation of ownership authorities can support a wider range of access policies and trading patter...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of anti-coordination under rationality constraints in ad-hoc resource allocation settings. Inspired by human behavior, we propose a framework (CA3NONY ) that enables fast convergence to efficient and fair allocations based on a simple convention of courtesy. We prove that following such convention induces a strategy which constitutes an approximate subg...

Due to the success of new multimedia technologies, there is a great interest for providing a resource allocation strategy suitable for multimedia applications. Many solutions proposed in literature are based on proportional share resource allocation, such as WFQ, WF2Q, EEVDF, or SFQ. In a previous paper, we showed how to perform resource reservation according to a Constant Bandwidth allocation....

Much previous work has been done on distributed dynamic resource allocation, and there are a number of solutions. Unfortunately, pragmatic mechanisms for Internetwide resource allocation have not received much attention in the research literature. The key challenges for Internet-wide resource allocation are scale and robustness. As the number of resource managers scale, the overall resource uti...

Resource allocation is playing a vital role in grid environment because of the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of grid resources. Literature offers numerous studies and techniques to solve the grid resource allocation problem. Some of the drawbacks occur during grid resource allocation are low utilization, less economic reliability and increased waiting time of the jobs. These problems were oc...

Support for economic resource allocation in Application Layer Networks (such as Grids) is critical to allow applications and users to effectively exploit computational and data infrastructure as a utility. The evaluation of resource allocation strategies plays a major part in the selection of a resource allocation method. This paper presents an evaluation framework for resource allocation metho...

Wireless USB (WUSB) is the USB technology merged with WiMedia PHY/MAC. WUSB can be applied to WPAN applications as well as PAN applications like wired USB. However the current WUSB protocol can’t provide resource allocation scheme to respond to changes of available resource as well as resource allocation scheme for saturated wireless channel. This problem causes the critical problems in QoS pro...

in this paper, we consider a cooperative cognitive radio network in which there is an ofdm primary link and multiple single carrier secondary links.the primary link is required to maintain its secrecy rate above a predefined threshold. if the secrecy rate requirement is not satisfied, the secondary system help primary link to maintain its secrecy rate requirement. in doing so, the secondary trans...
