The transportation network operator (TNO) and the power distribution network operator (DNO) act non cooperatively during the scheduling process. Under the TNOs management, the distribution of charging load may exacerbate the local…
The proliferation of portable devices (PDAs, smartphones, digital multimedia players, and so forth) allows mobile users to carry around a pool of computing, storage and communication resources. Sharing these resources with other users…
We consider the tradeoff between resource efficiency and performance isolation that emerges when multiplexing the resource demands of Network Slices (NSs). On the one hand, multiplexing allows the use of idle resources, which increases…
In this work, we investigate the joint optimization of base station (BS) location, its density, and transmit power allocation to minimize the overall network operational cost required to meet an underlying coverage constraint at each user…
Multi-Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networking is a promising method to exploit the joint force of multiple available cellular data connections within vehicular networks. By applying anticipatory communication principles, data transmissions…
With wireless network virtualization, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) can develop new services on a low-cost platform by leasing virtual resources from mobile network owners. In this paper, we investigate a two-stage spectrum…
This paper considers a multiuser full-duplex (FD) wireless communication system, where a FD radio base station (BS) serves multiple single-antenna half-duplex (HD) uplink and downlink users simultaneously. Unlike conventional interference…

The demand for communication services in the era of intelligent terminals is unprecedented and huge. To meet such development, modern wireless communications must provide higher quality services with higher energy efficiency in terms of…
A non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) approach that always outperforms orthogonal multiple access (OMA) called Fair-NOMA is introduced. In Fair-NOMA, each mobile user is allocated its share of the transmit power such that its capacity is…
We propose a combined uplink/downlink opportunistic scheduling algorithm for infrastructure WLANs. In the presence of both uplink and downlink flows, an infrastructure WLAN suffers from the uplink/downlink unfairness problem which severely…
This paper presents a network-based multi-agent optimization model for the strategic planning of service facilities in a stochastic and competitive market. We focus on the type of service facilities that are of intermediate nature, i.e.,…
Network slicing to enable resource sharing among multiple tenants --network operators and/or services-- is considered a key functionality for next generation mobile networks. This paper provides an analysis of a well-known model for…
The increasing number of satellite deployments, both in the low and geostationary Earth orbit exacerbates the already ongoing scarcity of wireless resources when targeting ubiquitous connectivity. For the aim of supporting a massive number…
Today's wireless networks are increasingly crowded with an explosion of wireless users, who have greater and more diverse quality of service (QoS) demands than ever before. However, the amount of spectrum that can be used to satisfy these…
Reducing energy consumption is crucial to reduce the human debt's with regard to our planet. Therefore most companies try to reduce their energetic consumption while taking care to preserve the service delivered to their customers. To do…
In this paper, a multipoint-to-point system consisting K users and a central node with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique over free space optical (FSO) channel is characterized for two cases. In the case of guaranteed user's…
We consider a market in which capacity-constrained generators compete in scalar-parameterized supply functions to serve an inelastic demand spread throughout a transmission constrained power network. The market clears according to a…
It is well known that load balancing and low delivery communication cost are two critical issues in mapping requests to servers in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). However, the trade-off between these two performance metrics has not been…
With the increasing demand for wireless services, spectrum management agencies and service providers (SPs) are seeking more flexible mechanisms for spectrum sharing to accommodate this growth. Such mechanisms impact the market dynamics of…
