A delay-constrained scheduling problem for point-to-point communication is considered: a packet of $B$ bits must be transmitted by a hard deadline of $T$ slots over a time-varying channel. The transmitter/scheduler must determine how many…
Optimizing network throughput in real-world dynamic systems is critical, especially for diverse and delay-sensitive multimedia data types such as VoIP and video streaming. Traditional routing protocols, which rely on static metrics and…

We present a 2-step optimal transport approach that performs a mapping from a source distribution to a target distribution. Here, the target has the particularity to present new classes not present in the source domain. The first step of…
In this paper, we investigate cost-aware joint learning and optimization for multi-channel opportunistic spectrum access in a cognitive radio system. We investigate a discrete time model where the time axis is partitioned into frames. Each…
Consider a communication network with a source, a relay and a destination. Each time interval, the source may dynamically choose between a few possible coding schemes, based on the channel state, traffic pattern and its own queue status.…
We consider a slotted-time system with a transmitter-receiver pair. In the system, a transmitter observes a dynamic source and sends updates to a remote receiver through a communication channel. We assume that the channel is error-free but…
