We introduce the mobile server problem, inspired by current trends to move computational tasks from cloud structures to multiple devices close to the end user. An example for this are embedded systems in autonomous cars that communicate in…
We introduce a framework and optimal `fresh' caching for a content distribution network (CDN) comprising a front-end local cache and a back-end database. The data content is dynamically updated at a back-end database and end-users are…
Pet ownership is increasingly common in modern households, yet maintaining a consistent feeding schedule remains challenging for the owners particularly those who live in cities and have busy lifestyles. This paper presents the design,…
Energy harvesting has been developed as an effective technology for communication systems in order to extend the lifetime of these systems. In this work, we consider a singleuser energy harvesting wireless communication system, in which…
In this paper we present new optimization formulations for maximizing the network lifetime in wireless mesh networks performing data aggregation and dissemination for machine-to-machine communication in the Internet of Things. We focus on…
Real-time streaming communication requires a high quality of service despite contending with packet loss. Streaming codes are a class of codes best suited for this setting. A key challenge for streaming codes is that they operate in an…
We consider the pull-based broadcast scheduling model. In this model, there are n unit-sized pages of information available at the server. Requests arrive over time at the server asking for a specific page. When the server transmits a page,…
By year 2020, the number of smartphone users globally will reach 3 Billion and the mobile data traffic (cellular + WiFi) will exceed PC Internet traffic the first time. As the number of smartphone users and the amount of data transferred…
We study a pull-based communication system where a sensing agent updates an actuation agent using a query control policy, which is adjusted in the evolution of an observed information source and the usefulness of each update for achieving a…
Wireless energy transfer is an emerging technology that is used in networks of battery-powered devices in order to deliver energy and keep the network functional. Existing state-of-the-art studies have mainly focused on applying this…
Formal coordination mechanisms are of growing importance as human-based service delivery becomes more globalized and informal mechanisms are no longer effective. Further it is becoming apparent that business environments, communication…
Training a high-quality Federated Learning (FL) model at the network edge is challenged by limited transmission resources. Although various device scheduling strategies have been proposed, it remains unclear how scheduling decisions affect…
An intuitive overview of the scalability of a variety of types of wireless networks is presented. Simple heuris- tic arguments are demonstrated here for scaling laws presented in other works, as well as for conditions not previously…
Exploration is essential to improve long-term recommendation quality, but it often degrades short-term business performance, especially in remote-first TV environments where users engage passively, expect instant relevance, and offer few…
Customer care in technical domains is increasingly based on e-mail communication, allowing for the reproduction of approved solutions. Identifying the customer's problem is often time-consuming, as the problem space changes if new products…
A widely used approach to clustering a single data stream is the two-phased approach in which the online phase creates and maintains micro-clusters while the off-line phase generates the macro-clustering from the micro-clusters. We use this…
Understanding how packets are routed in Internet is significantly important to Internet measurement and modeling. The conventional solution for route simulation is based on the assumption of unweighted shortest path. However, it has been…
In many emerging applications, data streams are monitored in a network environment. Due to limited communication bandwidth and other resource constraints, a critical and practical demand is to online compress data streams continuously with…
The unprecedented growth of mobile video traffic is adding significant pressure to the energy drain at both the network and the end user. Energy efficient video transmission techniques are thus imperative to cope with the challenge of…
The Age-of-Information (AoI) has recently been proposed as an important metric for investigating the timeliness performance in information-update systems. Prior studies on AoI optimization often consider a Push model, which is concerned…
