In the near future, the Internet of Things will interconnect billions of devices, forming a vast network where users sporadically transmit short messages through multi-path wireless channels. These channels are characterized by the…
Despite the rich literature on scheduling algorithms for wireless networks, algorithms that can provide deadline guarantees on packet delivery for general traffic and interference models are very limited. In this paper, we study the problem…
There is a growing trend for enterprise-level Internet of Things (IoT) applications requiring real-time horizontally scalable data processing platforms. Real-time processing platforms receiving data streams from sensor networks (e.g.,…
The web has become a ubiquitous application development platform for mobile systems. Yet, web access on mobile devices remains an energy-hungry activity. Prior work in the field mainly focuses on the initial page loading stage, but fails to…
In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), load balancing among different tiers can be effectively achieved by a biased user association scheme with which each user chooses to associate with one base station (BS) based on the biased received…
Scaling up language models has significantly increased their capabilities. But larger models are slower models, and so there is now an extensive body of work (e.g., speculative sampling or parallel decoding) that improves the (average case)…
Web crawling is the problem of keeping a cache of webpages fresh, i.e., having the most recent copy available when a page is requested. This problem is usually coupled with the natural restriction that the bandwidth available to the web…
Future wireless communications systems are expected to support multi-service operation, i.e. especially multi-rate as well as multi-level quality of service (QoS) requirements. This evolution is mainly driven by the success of the Internet…
Prefetching web pages is a well-studied solution to reduce network latency by predicting users' future actions based on their past behaviors. However, such techniques are largely unexplored on mobile platforms. Today's privacy regulations…
Due to the rapid development of online food ordering platforms and rocketing growth of demand, the market is about to saturate soon, and the future trend is to seek efficient utilization of resources. Specifically speaking, food company…
For Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks, it is essential to reliably sense and deliver the environmental data on time to avoid system malfunction. While energy harvesting is a promising technique to extend the lifetime of sensor nodes, it…
The digital town hall of Twitter becomes a preferred medium of communication for individuals and organizations across the globe. Some of them reach audiences of millions, while others struggle to get noticed. Given the impact of social…
We describe a new model for studying intermittently connected mobile networks, based on Markovian random temporal graphs, that captures the influence of message size, maximum tolerated delay and link stability on the delivery ratio.
Email tracking allows email senders to collect fine-grained behavior and location data on email recipients, who are uniquely identifiable via their email address. Such tracking invades user privacy in that email tracking techniques gather…
Samples from a high-dimensional AR[1] process are observed by a sender which can communicate only finitely many bits per unit time to a receiver. The receiver seeks to form an estimate of the process value at every time instant in…
Traffic to any server is rarely constant over time. In addition, the workload brought by each service request is typically unknown in advance, and each request may bring a different workload to the server. Cha and Lee (2011) proposed a…
Cache-aided content delivery is studied in a multi-server system with $P$ servers and $K$ users, each equipped with a local cache memory. In the delivery phase, each user connects randomly to any $\rho$ out of $P$ servers. Thanks to the…
Recent years have seen a lot of progress in algorithms for learning parameters of spreading dynamics from both full and partial data. Some of the remaining challenges include model selection under the scenarios of unknown network structure,…
The first generation of wireless sensor nodes have constrained energy resources and computational power, which discourages applications to process any task other than measuring and transmitting towards a central server. However, nowadays,…
We consider the problem of enhancing the delivery of real-time traffic in wireless networks using bandwidth sharing between operators. A key characteristic of real-time traffic is that a packet has to be delivered within a delay deadline…
