Cellular and Broadcast services have been traditionally treated independently due to the different market requirements, thus resulting in different business models and orthogonal frequency allocations. However, with the advent of cheap…

The Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadcast is a promising solution to cope with exponentially increasing user traffic by broadcasting common user requests over the same frequency channels. In this paper, we propose a novel network framework…

In video streaming applications especially during live streaming events (such as the Super Bowl), video traffic can account for a significant portion of network traffic and can lead to severe network congestion. During such events,…

In this paper, we analyze the performance of cellular networks and study the optimal base station (BS) density to reduce the network power consumption. In contrast to previous works with similar purpose, we consider Poisson traffic for…

The performance of a cellular network can be significantly improved by employing many base stations (BSs), which shortens transmission distances. However, there exist no known results on quantifying the performance gains from deploying many…

We consider a group of mobile users, within proximity of each other, who are interested in watching the same online video at roughly the same time. The common practice today is that each user downloads the video independently on her mobile…

One of the main challenges in building a large scale publish-subscribe infrastructure in an enterprise network, is to provide the subscribers with the required information, while minimizing the consumed host and network resources.…

A recent approach in modeling and analysis of the supply and demand in heterogeneous wireless cellular networks has been the use of two independent Poisson point processes (PPPs) for the locations of base stations (BSs) and user equipments…

In small cell networks, high mobility of users results in frequent handoff and thus severely restricts the data rate for mobile users. To alleviate this problem, we propose to use heterogeneous, two-tier network structure where static users…

Mobile data traffic is growing exponentially and it is even more challenging to distribute content efficiently while users are "on the move" such as in public transport.The use of mobile devices for accessing content (e.g. videos) while…

We present a new stochastic service model with capacity sharing and interruptions, appropriate for the evaluation of the quality of real-time streaming (RTS), like e.g. mobile TV, in wireless cellular networks. The general model takes into…

The surging global mobile data traffic challenges the economic viability of cellular networks and calls for innovative solutions to reduce the network congestion and improve user experience. In this context, user-provided networks (UPNs),…

Hahn and Wallsten wrote that network neutrality "usually means that broadband service providers charge consumers only once for Internet access, do not favor one content provider over another, and do not charge content providers for sending…

There have been a bulk of analytic results about the performance of cellular networks where base stations are regularly located on a hexagonal or square lattice. This regular model cannot reflect the reality, and tends to overestimate the…

The surge in popularity of short-form video content, particularly through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, has led to an exponential increase in data traffic, presenting significant challenges in network resource management. Traditional…

This work is focused on the system-level performance of a broadcast network. Since all transmitters in a broadcast network transmit the identical signal, received signals from multiple transmitters can be combined to improve system…

Limited bandwidth resources and higher energy efficiency requirements motivate incorporating multicast and broadcast transmission into the next-generation cellular network architectures, particularly for multimedia streaming applications.…

Good quality video services always require higher bandwidth. Hence, to provide the video services e.g., multicast/broadcast services (MBS) and unicast services along with the existing voice, internet, and other background traffic services…

The knowledge of future throughput variations in mobile networks becomes more and more possible today thanks to the rich contextual information provided by mobile applications and services and smartphone sensors. It is even likely that such…

With the ever-growing communication demands and the unceasing miniaturization of mobile devices, the Internet of Things is expanding the amount of mobile terminals to an enormous level. To deal with such numbers of communication data,…
