To facilitate load balancing, distributed systems store data redundantly. We evaluate the load balancing performance of storage schemes in which each object is stored at $d$ different nodes, and each node stores the same number of objects.…

In a landmark 1981 paper, Valiant and Brebner gave birth to the study of oblivious routing and, simultaneously, introduced its most powerful and ubiquitous method: Valiant load balancing (VLB). By routing messages through a randomly sampled…

Oblivious routing has a long history in both the theory and practice of networking. In this work we initiate the formal study of oblivious routing in the context of reconfigurable networks, a new architecture that has recently come to the…

In this paper, we analyze the performance of random load resampling and migration strategies in parallel server systems. Clients initially attach to an arbitrary server, but may switch server independently at random instants of time in an…

Ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) is an important new feature brought by 5G, with a potential to support a vast set of applications that rely on mission-critical links. In this article, we first discuss the principles for…

Due to the enormous variety of application scenarios and ubiquity,Internet of Things (IoT) brought a new perspective of applications for the current and future Internet. The Wireless Sensor Networks provide key devices for developing the…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a critical paradigm for building reliable, knowledge-intensive Large Language Model (LLM) applications. However, the multi-stage pipeline (retrieve, generate) and unique workload characteristics…

Machine learning (ML)-assisted outage-based resource allocation has recently emerged as an effective alternative to conventional scheduling methods in reliability-critical wireless systems. However, existing approaches are fundamentally…

Traditionally, networks operate at a small fraction of their capacities; however, recent technologies, such as Software-Defined Networking, may let operators run their networks harder (i.e., at higher utilization levels). Higher utilization…

Distributed systems store data objects redundantly to balance the data access load over multiple nodes. Load balancing performance depends mainly on 1) the level of storage redundancy and 2) the assignment of data objects to storage nodes.…

Motivated by the growing demand for serving large language model inference requests, we study distributed load balancing for global serving systems with network latencies. We consider a fluid model in which continuous flows of requests…

The cloud datacenter has numerous hosts as well as application requests where resources are dynamic. The demands placed on the resource allocation are diverse. These factors could lead to load imbalances, which affect scheduling efficiency…

As emerging networks such as Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) and 5G continue to grow, the demand for various services with different requirements is increasing. Network slicing has emerged as a potential solution to address the different…

A novel random access (RA) scheme for mixed URLLC-mMTC traffic scenario is proposed using realistic statistical models, with the use mode presenting long-term traffic regularity. The traffic is predicted by a long short-term memory neural…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language model (LLM) generation quality by incorporating relevant external knowledge. However, deploying RAG on consumer-grade platforms is challenging due to limited memory and the…

The use of heterogeneous networks with multiple radio access technologies (RATs) is a system concept that both academia and industry are studying. In such system, integrated use of available multiple RATs is essential to achieve beyond…

Relational databases (RDBs) are widely regarded as the gold standard for storing structured information. Consequently, predictive tasks leveraging this data format hold significant application promise. Recently, Relational Deep Learning…

Routing protocol specifications are traditionally written in plain English. Often this yields ambiguities, inaccuracies or even contradictions. Formal methods techniques, such as process algebras, avoid these problems, thus leading to more…

Modern random access protocols are emerging as an efficient yet simple solution for arising internet of things (IoT) applications in upcoming beyond-5G systems. In this context, both terrestrial and non-terrestrial scenarios can benefit…

The paper treats a multiuser relay scenario where multiple user equipments (UEs) have a two-way communication with a common Base Station (BS) in the presence of a buffer-equipped Relay Station (RS). Each of the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL)…
