In a multi-service network such as ATM, adaptive data services(such as ABR) share the bandwidth unused by higher priority services. The network indicates to the ABR sources the fair and efficient rates at which they should transmit to…
Dynamic spectrum sharing is a promising technology for improving the spectrum utilization. In this paper, we study how secondary users can share the spectrum in a distributed fashion based on social imitations. The imitation-based mechanism…
In this paper, we study the spectrum usage efficiency by applying wideband methods and systems to the existing analog systems and applications. The essential motivation of this work is to define the prospective coexistence between analog FM…
The utilization of unlicensed spectrum presents a promising solution to the issue of spectrum scarcity in densely populated areas, while also offering a cost-effective means to connect underserved regions. In response to this potential,…
Traditionally, network operators have used simple flat-rate broadband data plans for both wired and wireless network access. But today, with the popularity of mobile devices and exponential growth of apps, videos, and clouds, service…
Traditionally, Internet Access Providers (APs) only charge end-users for Internet access services; however, to recoup infrastructure costs and increase revenues, some APs have recently adopted two-sided pricing schemes under which both…
The desirability of the mid-band frequency range (1 - 10 GHz) for federal and commercial applications, combined with the growing applications for commercial indoor use-cases, such as factory automation, opens up a new approach to spectrum…
In large wireless networks, acquiring full network state information is typically infeasible. Hence, nodes need to flow the information and manage the interference based on partial information about the network. In this paper, we consider…
With the increase of wireless communication demands, licensed spectrum for long term evolution (LTE) is no longer enough. The research effort has focused on implementing LTE to unlicensed frequency bands in recent years, which unavoidably…
This paper addresses an interference channel consisting of $\mathbf{n}$ active users sharing $u$ frequency sub-bands. Users are asynchronous meaning there exists a mutual delay between their transmitted codes. A stationary model for…
One of the central issues in the debate on network neutrality has been whether one should allow or prevent preferential treatment by an internet service provider (ISP) of traffic according to its origin. This raised the question of whether…
This paper investigates the incentives of mobile network operators (MNOs) for acquiring additional spectrum to offer mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and thereby inviting competition for a common pool of end users (EUs). We consider…
The limited coexistence capabilities of current Internet-of-things (IoT) wireless standards produce inefficient spectrum utilization and mutual performance impairment. The entity of the issue escalates in industrial IoT (IIoT) applications,…
This paper examines the effects of licensing conditions, in particular of spectrum fees, on the pricing and diffusion of mobile communications services. Seemingly exorbitant sums paid for 3G licenses in the UK, Germany in 2000 and similarly…
Spectrum sharing mechanisms need to be carefully designed to enable inter-technology coexistence in the unlicensed bands, as these bands are an instance of a spectrum commons where heterogeneous technologies and deployments must coexist.…
In multi-class communication networks, traffic surges due to one class of users can significantly degrade the performance for other classes. During these transient periods, it is thus of crucial importance to implement priority mechanisms…
We consider the problem of partitioning a spectrum band into M channels of equal bandwidth, and then further assigning these M channels into P licensed channels and M-P unlicensed channels. Licensed channels can be accessed both for…
A significant movement from rigid use of the wireless spectrum toward adaptive and reconfigurable spectrum use has been prompted by increasing spectral crowding. Some bands have moved to an adaptive sharing model, and proposals are growing…
Interference evaluation is crucial when deciding whether and how wireless technologies should operate. In this paper we demonstrate the benefit of risk-informed interference assessment to aid spectrum regulators in making decisions, and to…
Ultra-narrowband (UNB) communications is an emerging paradigm that tackles two challenges to realizing massive Internet-of-things (IoT) connectivity over the unlicensed spectrum: the intra-network sharing, i.e., how the spectrum is shared…
