In this paper the issue of energy efficiency in CDMA wireless data networks is addressed through a game theoretic approach. Building on a recent paper by the first two authors, wherein a non-cooperative game for spreading-code optimization,…

The wireless ad hoc networks are highly vulnerable to distributed denial of service(DDoS) attacks because of its unique characteristics such as open network architecture, shared wireless medium and stringent resource constraints. These…

We consider a Gaussian interference channel with independent direct and cross link channel gains, each of which is independent and identically distributed across time. Each transmitter-receiver user pair aims to maximize its long-term…

We propose an artificial immune model for intrusion detection in distributed systems based on a relatively recent theory in immunology called Danger theory. Based on Danger theory, immune response in natural systems is a result of sensing…

This paper considers a set of multiple independent control systems that are each connected over a non-stationary wireless channel. The goal is to maximize control performance over all the systems through the allocation of transmitting power…

A distributed algorithm is self-stabilizing if after faults and attacks hit the system and place it in some arbitrary global state, the systems recovers from this catastrophic situation without external intervention in finite time.…

This thesis explores a particular class of distributed optimization methods for various separable resource allocation problems, which are of high interest in a wide array of multi-agent settings. A distinctly motivating application for this…

Consider the problem of a multiple access channel in a time dependent environment with a large number of users. In such a system, mostly due to practical constraints (e.g., decoding complexity), not all users can be scheduled together, and…

Wireless devices need spectrum to communicate. With the increase in the number of devices competing for the same spectrum, it has become nearly impossible to support the throughput requirements of all the devices through current spectrum…

This paper considers the following stochastic control problem that arises in opportunistic spectrum access: a system consists of n channels (Gilbert-Elliot channels)where the state (good or bad) of each channel evolves as independent and…

This paper proposes distributed discrete-time algorithms to cooperatively solve an additive cost optimization problem in multi-agent networks. The striking feature lies in the use of only the sign of relative state information between…

When multiple users share a common link in direct transmission, packet loss and network collision may occur due to the simultaneous arrival of traffics at the source node. To tackle this problem, users may resort to an indirect path: the…

In this work, we study stochastic one-shot games where agents' utilities depend on the collective strategy profiles of other agents as well as on some well-behaved randomness. While each decision-maker is agnostic to the random variable's…

Collaborative spectrum sensing among secondary users (SUs) in cognitive networks is shown to yield a significant performance improvement. However, there exists an inherent trade off between the gains in terms of probability of detection of…

We study multi-hop data-dissemination in a wireless network from one source to multiple nodes where some of the nodes of the network act as re-transmitting nodes and help the source in data dissemination. In this network, we study two…

The performance of Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) depends on the cooperation of all active nodes. However, supporting a MANET is a cost-intensive activity for a mobile node. From a single mobile node perspective, the detection of routes as…

The performance of control systems with packet loss as a result of an attack over the actuation communication channel is analysed. The operator is assumed to monitor the state of the channel by measuring the average number of packet losses…

Dynamic game theory is an increasingly popular tool for modeling multi-agent, e.g. human-robot, interactions. Game-theoretic models presume that each agent wishes to minimize a private cost function that depends on others' actions. These…

Channel allocation is the task of assigning channels to users such that some objective (e.g., sum-rate) is maximized. In centralized networks such as cellular networks, this task is carried by the base station which gathers the channel…
