In a millimeter wave (mmWave) network, user association, the process of deciding as to which base station (BS) a given user should associate with, is a crucial process which affects the throughput and delay performance seen by users in the…

In this paper, storage efficient caching based on time domain buffer sharing is considered. The caching policy allows a user to determine whether and how long it should cache a content item according to the prediction of its random request…

Recent years mesh-based Peer-to-Peer live streaming has become a promising way for service providers to offer high-quality live video streaming service to Internet users. In this paper, we make a detailed study on modeling and performance…

We develop link rate control policies to minimize the queueing delay of packets in overloaded networks. We show that increasing link rates does not guarantee delay reduction during overload. We consider a fluid queueing model that…

Retransmissions represent a primary failure recovery mechanism on all layers of communication network architecture. Similarly, fair sharing, e.g. processor sharing (PS), is a widely accepted approach to resource allocation among multiple…

An information collection problem in a wireless network with random events is considered. Wireless devices report on each event using one of multiple reporting formats. Each format has a different quality and uses different data lengths.…

We consider the challenge of efficiently detecting changes within a network of sensors, where we also need to minimise communication between sensors and the cloud. We propose an online, communication-efficient method to detect such changes.…

Structured pruning is a well-known technique to reduce the storage size and inference cost of neural networks. The usual pruning pipeline consists of ranking the network internal filters and activations with respect to their contributions…

The discrepancy between the upper bound on throughput in wireless networks and the throughput scaling in random networks which is also known as the connectivity-throughput trade-off is analyzed. In a random network with $\lambda$ nodes per…
