The service provided by mobile networks operated today is not adapted to spatio-temporal fluctuations in traffic demand, although such fluctuations offer opportunities for energy savings. In particular, significant gains in energy…
Multilayer networks proved to be suitable in extracting and providing dependency information of different complex systems. The construction of these networks is difficult and is mostly done with a static approach, neglecting time delayed…
This paper studies a house allocation problem in a networked housing market, where agents can invite others to join the system in order to enrich their options. Top Trading Cycle is a well-known matching mechanism that achieves a set of…
We consider a distributed edge computing scenario consisting of several wireless nodes that are located over an area of interest. Specifically, some of the "master" nodes are tasked to sense the environment (e.g., by acquiring images or…
Software startups are becoming increasingly popular in software industry as well as other sectors of economy. Startups that lack necessary competences often seek for external resources from outsourcing partners. Little is known how this…
WiFi offloading is regarded as one of the most promising techniques to deal with the explosive data increase in cellular networks due to its high data transmission rate and low requirement on devices. In this paper, we investigate the…
To alleviate the congestion caused by rapid growth in demand for mobile data, wireless service providers (WSPs) have begun encouraging users to offload some of their traffic onto supplementary network technologies, e.g., offloading from 3G…
Understanding mobile traffic patterns of large scale cellular towers in urban environment is extremely valuable for Internet service providers, mobile users, and government managers of modern metropolis. This paper aims at extracting and…
In this paper, we focus on one of the representative 5G network scenarios, namely multi-tier heterogeneous cellular networks. User association is investigated in order to reduce the down-link co-channel interference. Firstly, in order to…
Recent research in industrial organisation has investigated the essential place that middlemen have in the networks that make up our global economy. In this paper we attempt to understand how such middlemen compete with each other through a…
In this paper, the problem of user association and resource allocation is studied for an integrated satellite-drone network (ISDN). In the considered model, drone base stations (DBSs) provide downlink connectivity, supplementally, to ground…
In cellular systems using frequency division duplex, growing Internet services cause unbalance of uplink and downlink traffic, resulting in poor uplink spectrum utilization. Addressing this issue, this paper considers overlaying an ad hoc…
In a call center, staffing decisions must be made before the call arrival rate is known with certainty. Then, once the arrival rate becomes known, the call center may be over-staffed, in which case staff are being paid to be idle, or…
We address the common rate maximization problem in two-layer cellular networks where high-power and low-power base stations are colocated in the same geographical area. Interference becomes a serious problem when two or more layers are…
Broadcast MIMO techniques can significantly increase the throughput in the downlink of cellular networks, at the price of channel state information (CSI) feedback from the mobiles, sent over the uplink. Thus, it creates a mechanism that can…
Network densification with small cell base stations is a promising solution to satisfy future data traffic demands. However, increasing small cell base station density alone does not ensure better users quality-of-experience and incurs high…
The increasing demand for wireless communication services has led to the development of non-terrestrial networks, which enables various air and space applications. Free-space optical (FSO) communication is considered one of the essential…
This paper provides a state-of-the-art literature review on economic analysis and pricing models for data collection and wireless communication in Internet of Things (IoT). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the main component of IoT which…
Koopman operator based models emerged as the leading methodology for machine learning of dynamical systems. But their scope is much larger. In fact they present a new take on modeling of physical systems, and even language. In this article…
Many organizations have access to abundant data but lack the computational power to process the data. While they can outsource the computational task to other facilities, there are various constraints on the amount of data that can be…
