Coexistence of Wi-Fi and LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) technologies has drawn significant concern in industry. In this paper, we investigate the Wi-Fi performance in the presence of duty cycle based LTE-U transmission on the same channel. More…
Small cell enchantment is emerging as the key technique for wireless network evolution. One challenging problem for small cell enhancement is how to achieve high data rate with as-low-as-possible control and computation overheads. As a…
A database-assisted TV white space network can achieve the goal of green cognitive communication by effectively reducing the energy consumption in cognitive communications. The success of such a novel network relies on a proper business…
Allocation of spectrum is an important policy issue and decisions taken have ramifications for future growth of wireless communications and achieving universal connectivity. In this paper, on a common footing we compare the social welfare…
This work proposes a novel hybrid RF/FSO system based on a game theoretic spectrum trading process. It is assumed that no RF spectrum is preallocated to the FSO link and only when the link availability is severely impaired by the infrequent…
Power suppliers can exercise market power to gain higher profit. However, this becomes difficult when external information is extremely rare. To get a promising performance in an extremely incomplete information market environment, a novel…
Congestion control protocol and bandwidth allocation problems are often formulated into Network Utility Maximization (NUM) framework. Existing solutions for NUM generally focus on single-layered applications. As applications such as video…
In this paper we address the issue of association fairness when Wi-Fi and LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) coexist on the same channel in the unlicensed 5 GHz band. Since beacon transmission is the first step in starting the association process in…
We consider the allocation of spectral and power resources to the mobiles (i.e., user equipment (UE)) in a cell every subframe (1 ms) for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) cellular network.…
We study a multi-agent contracting problem where agents exert costly effort to achieve individually observable binary outcomes. While the principal can theoretically extract the full social welfare using a discriminatory contract that…
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has an enormous potential but also downsides. One downside of many DLT systems, such as blockchain, is their limited transaction throughput that hinders their adoption in many use cases (e.g., real-time…
In this paper, a multi-user cooperative computing framework is applied to enable mobile users to utilize available computing resources from other neighboring users via direct communication links. An incentive scheme based on Bertrand game…
In this letter, we propose an analytical model and conduct simulation experiments to study listen-before-talk-based unlicensed band allocation with the buffering mechanism for the License-Assisted Access (LAA) packets in the heterogeneous…
Motivated by the recent popularity of machine learning training services, we introduce a contract design problem in which a provider sells a service that results in an outcome of uncertain quality for the buyer. The seller has a set of…
In this paper, we address the problem of designing incentive mechanisms by a virtual service provider (VSP) to hire sensing IoT devices to sell their sensing data to help creating and rendering the digital copy of the physical world in the…
Artificial intelligence radio access networks (AI-RANs) are a promising architecture for bolstering the prosperity of the edge AI ecosystem. A well-designed incentive mechanism can further ensure the sustainable development of this…
This paper addresses the following question which is of interest in designing efficient exclusive-use spectrum licenses sold through spectrum auctions. Given a system model in which customer demand, revenue, and bids of wireless operators…
Spectrum sharing is one of the promising solutions to meet the spectrum demand in 5G networks that results from the emerging services like machine to machine and vehicle to infrastructure communication. The idea is to allow a set of…
This paper proposes a two-step framework for techno-economic analysis of a demand-side flexibility service in distribution networks. Step one applies optimization-based modelling to propose a generic problem formulation which determines the…
Machine learning (ML) has penetrated various fields in the era of big data. The advantage of collaborative machine learning (CML) over most conventional ML lies in the joint effort of decentralized nodes or agents that results in better…
