This paper considers how to accurately estimate the minimum sum-rate so as to reduce the complexity of solving cooperative data exchange (CDE) problems. The CDE system contains a number of geographically close clients who send packets to…
In this paper we study the data exchange problem where a set of users is interested in gaining access to a common file, but where each has only partial knowledge about it as side-information. Assuming that the file is broken into packets,…
We consider the fairness in cooperative data exchange (CDE) problem among a set of wireless clients. In this system, each client initially obtains a subset of the packets. They exchange packets in order to reconstruct the entire packet set.…
Consider a set of clients in a broadcast network, each of which holds a subset of packets in the ground set X. In the (coded) cooperative data exchange problem, the clients need to recover all packets in X by exchanging coded packets over a…
We consider the problem of data exchange by a group of closely-located wireless nodes. In this problem each node holds a set of packets and needs to obtain all the packets held by other nodes. Each of the nodes can broadcast the packets in…
Self-stabilization is a versatile fault-tolerance approach that characterizes the ability of a system to eventually resume a correct behavior after any finite number of transient faults. In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing reset…
We consider the problem of cooperative spectrum sharing among a primary user (PU) and multiple secondary users (SUs) under quality of service (QoS) constraints. The SUs network is controlled by the PU through a relay which gets a revenue…
This paper studies an incentive structure for cooperation and its stability in peer-assisted services when there exist multiple content providers, using a coalition game theoretic approach. We first consider a generalized coalition…
We propose a novel problem formulation to address the privacy-utility tradeoff, specifically when dealing with two distinct user groups characterized by unique sets of private and utility attributes. Unlike previous studies that primarily…
This paper considers a cooperative network with multiple source-destination pairs and one energy harvesting relay. The outage probability experienced by users in this network is characterized by taking the spatial randomness of user…
This paper proposes a new cooperative protocol which involves cooperation between primary and secondary users. We consider a cognitive setting with one primary user and multiple secondary users. The time resource is partitioned into…
Social storage systems are a good alternative to existing data backup systems of local, centralized, and P2P backup. In this paper, we look at two untouched aspects of social storage systems. One aspect involves modelling social storage as…
We investigate the network stability problem when two users are scheduled simultaneously. The key idea is to simultaneously transmit to more than one users experiencing different channel conditions by employing hierarchical modulation. For…
This paper considers two generalizations of the cooperative data exchange problem, referred to as the successive local omniscience (SLO) and the successive global omniscience (SGO). The users are divided into $\ell$ nested sub-groups. Each…
We develop a computationally efficient technique to solve a fairly general distributed service provision problem with selfish users and imperfect information. In particular, in a context in which the service capacity of the existing…
We consider the problem of finding the minimum sum-rate strategy in cooperative data exchange systems that do not allow packet-splitting (NPS-CDE). In an NPS-CDE system, there are a number of geographically close cooperative clients who…
This work presents novel achievable schemes for the 2-user symmetric linear deterministic interference channel with limited-rate transmitter cooperation and perfect secrecy constraints at the receivers. The proposed achievable scheme…
In this paper, we study and analyze cooperative cognitive radio networks with arbitrary number of secondary users (SUs). Each SU is considered a prospective relay for the primary user (PU) besides having its own data transmission demand. We…
The current framework of network utility maximization for distributed rate allocation assumes fixed channel code rates. However, by adapting the physical layer channel coding, different rate-reliability tradeoffs can be achieved on each…
Cooperation between nodes sharing a wireless channel is becoming increasingly necessary to achieve performance goals in a wireless network. The problem of determining the feasibility and stability of cooperation between rational nodes in a…
