This paper studies the effects on user welfare of imposing network neutrality, using a game-theoretic model of provider interactions based on a two-sided market framework: we assume that the platform--the last-mile access providers…
Allocation of spectrum is an important policy issue and decisions taken have ramifications for future growth of wireless communications and achieving universal connectivity. In this paper, on a common footing we compare the social welfare…
Energy consumption is a main issue of concern in wireless networks. Energy minimization increases the time that networks' nodes work properly without recharging or substituting batteries. Another criterion for network performance is data…
The recent emergence of decentralized wireless networks empowers individual entities to own, operate, and offer subscriptionless connectivity services in exchange for monetary compensation. While traditional connectivity providers have…
In this paper, we perform a business analysis of our hybrid decision algorithm for the selection of the access in a multi-operator networks environment. We investigate the ability of the operator to express his strategy and influence the…
Distributed medium access control (MAC) protocols are proposed for wireless networks assuming that one-hop peers can periodically exchange a small amount of state information. Each station maintains a state and makes state transitions and…
The number of users using wireless Local Area Network is increasing exponentially and their behavior is changing day after day. Nowadays, users of wireless LAN are using huge amount of bandwidth because of the explosive growth of some…
In the current intensively changing technological environment, wireless network operators try to manage the increase of global traffic, optimizing the use of the available resources. This involves associating each user to one of its…
Distributed medium access control (MAC) protocols are essential for the proliferation of low cost, decentralized wireless local area networks (WLANs). Most MAC protocols are designed with the presumption that nodes comply with prescribed…
A wireless system with multiple channels is considered, where each channel has several transmission states. A user learns about the instantaneous state of an available channel by transmitting a control packet in it. Since probing all…
A monopolist faces a partially uninformed population of consumers, interconnected through a directed social network. In the network, the monopolist offers rewards to informed consumers (influencers) conditional on informing uninformed…
We consider the problem of cross-layer resource allocation in time-varying cellular wireless networks, and incorporate information theoretic secrecy as a Quality of Service constraint. Specifically, each node in the network injects two…
We consider uplink power control in wireless communication when massive users compete over the channel resources. In Part I, we have formulated massive transmission power control contest in a mean-field game framework. In this part, our…
The research effort on mobile computing has focused mainly on routing and usually assumes that all mobile devices (MDs) are cooperative. These assumptions hold on military or search and rescue operations, where all hosts are from the same…
Wireless communications at the chip scale emerge as a interesting complement to traditional wire-based approaches thanks to their low latency, inherent broadcast nature, and capacity to bypass pin constraints. However, as current trends…
The allocation of scarce spectral resources to support as many user applications as possible while maintaining reasonable quality of service is a fundamental problem in wireless communication. We argue that the problem is best formulated in…
This paper analyzes the pricing of transit traffic in wireless peer-to-peer networks using the concepts of direct and indirect network externalities. We first establish that without any pricing mechanism, congestion externalities overwhelm…
We study the design of media streaming applications in the presence of multiple heterogeneous wireless access methods with different throughputs and costs. Our objective is to analytically characterize the trade-off between the usage cost…
Fueled by its recent success in provisioning on-site wireless Internet access, Wi-Fi is currently perceived as the best positioned technology for pervasive mobile macro network offloading. However, the broad transitions of multiple…
We study the problem of selection in the context of Bayesian persuasion. We are given multiple agents with hidden values (or quality scores), to whom resources must be allocated by a welfare-maximizing decision-maker. An intermediary with…
