Adaptive bitrate streaming enables video users to adapt their playing bitrates to the real-time network conditions, hence achieving the desirable quality-of-experience (QoE). In a multi-user wireless scenario, however, existing single-user…
Streaming applications frequently encounter skewed workloads and execute on heterogeneous clusters. Optimal resource utilization in such adverse conditions becomes a challenge, as it requires inferring the resource capacities and input…
Cache-aided wireless device-to-device (D2D) networks allow significant throughput increase, depending on the concentration of the popularity distribution of files. Many studies assume that all users have the same preference distribution;…
In this paper, downlink delivery of popular content is optimized with the assistance of wireless cache nodes. Specifically, the requests of one file is modeled as a Poisson point process with finite lifetime, and two downlink transmission…
Empirical data shows that in the absence of incentives, a peer participating in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network wishes to free-riding. Most solutions for providing incentives in P2P networks are based on direct reciprocity, which are not…
The live streaming services have gained extreme popularity in recent years. Due to the spiky traffic patterns of live videos, utilizing the distributed edge servers to improve viewers' quality of experience (QoE) has become a common…
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…
Scalability and efficient global search in unstructured peer-to-peer overlays have been extensively studied in the literature. The global search comes at the expense of local interactions between peers. Most of the unstructured peer-to-peer…
We propose a streaming algorithm for the binary classification of data based on crowdsourcing. The algorithm learns the competence of each labeller by comparing her labels to those of other labellers on the same tasks and uses this…
P2P systems are a great solution to the problem of distributing resources. The main issue of P2P networks is that searching and retrieving resources shared by peers is usually expensive and does not take into account similarities among…
Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may…
Current learning-based edge caching schemes usually suffer from dynamic content popularity, e.g., in the emerging short video platforms, users' request patterns shift significantly over time and across different edges. An intuitive solution…
We present a new architecture to handle the ongoing explosive increase in the demand for video content in wireless networks. It is based on distributed caching of the content in femto-basestations with small or non-existing backhaul…
Cache-enabled device-to-device (D2D) communications can boost network throughput. By pre-downloading contents to local caches of users, the content requested by a user can be transmitted via D2D links by other users in proximity. Prior…
Mobile edge computing (MEC) enables resource-limited IoT devices to complete computation-intensive or delay-sensitive task by offloading the task to adjacent edge server deployed at the base station (BS), thus becoming an important…
Several solutions exist for file storage, sharing, and synchronization. Many of them involve a central server, or a collection of servers, that either store the files, or act as a gateway for them to be shared. Some systems take a…
Seeders (peers that do not request anything but contribute to the system) are a powerful concept in peer-to-peer (P2P). They allow to leverage the capacities of a P2P system. While seeding is a natural idea for filesharing or…
Recently, Mobile-Edge Computing (MEC) has arisen as an emerging paradigm that extends cloud-computing capabilities to the edge of the Radio Access Network (RAN) by deploying MEC servers right at the Base Stations (BSs). In this paper, we…
We consider caching of video streams in a cellular network in which each base station is equipped with a cache. Video streams are partitioned into multiple substreams and the goal is to place substreams in caches such that the residual…
The existence of node failures is inevitable in distributed systems, thus many P2P broadcasting networks adopt highly robust Flooding-based broadcast algorithms. High redundancy inevitably leads to high network resource consumption, and it…
