We consider the max-min fair resource allocation problem. The best-known solutions use either a sequence of optimizations or waterfilling, which only applies to a narrow set of cases. These solutions have become a practical bottleneck in…

In this paper, we consider the resource allocation problem in a network with a large number of connections which are used by a huge number of users. The resource allocation problem under discussion is a maximization problem with linear…

A joint resource allocation (RA), user association (UA), and power control (PC) problem is addressed for proportional fairness maximization in a cooperative multiuser downlink small cell network with limited backhaul capacity, based on…

In this paper, we provide a novel application aware user association and resource allocation framework, i.e., AURA-5G, which utilizes a joint optimization strategy to accomplish the same. Concretely, our methodology considers all the real…

In this paper, we present two completely uncoupled algorithms for utility maximization. In the first part, we present an algorithm that can be applied for general non-concave utilities. We show that this algorithm induces a perturbed (by…

Mobile-edge computation offloading (MECO) offloads intensive mobile computation to clouds located at the edges of cellular networks. Thereby, MECO is envisioned as a promising technique for prolonging the battery lives and enhancing the…

This paper presents a distributed resource allocation algorithm to jointly optimize the power allocation, channel allocation and relay selection for decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks with a large number of sources, relays, and…

We consider the scheduling and resource allocation problem in AP-initiated uplink OFDMA transmissions of IEEE 802.11ax networks. The uplink OFDMA resource allocation problem is known to be non-convex and difficult to solve in general.…

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has the potential to significantly reduce the capital and operating expenses, shorten product release cycle, and improve service agility. In this paper, we focus on minimizing the total number of…

We present a method for solving service allocation problems in which a set of services must be allocated to a set of agents so as to maximize a global utility. The method is completely distributed so it can scale to any number of services…

Ranking and selection (R&S) aims to identify the alternative with the best mean performance among $k$ simulated alternatives. The practical value of R&S depends on accurate simulation input modeling, which often suffers from the curse of…

We propose a game theoretic framework for task allocation in mobile cloud computing that corresponds to offloading of compute tasks to a group of nearby mobile devices. Specifically, in our framework, a distributor node holds a…

This paper focuses on the problem of coflow scheduling with precedence constraints in identical parallel networks, which is a well-known $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem. Coflow is a relatively new network abstraction used to characterize…

Recently, the problem of multitasking scheduling has attracted a lot of attention in the service industries where workers frequently perform multiple tasks by switching from one task to another. Hall, Leung and Li (Discrete Applied…

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) enables rich services in close proximity to the end users to provide high quality of experience (QoE) and contributes to energy conservation compared with local computing, but results in increased communication…

In this paper, we develop a resource allocation technique for a hybrid time division multiple access (TDMA) - non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with opportunistic time assignment. In particular, the available transmission time is…

The paper considers single-machine scheduling problems with a non-renewable resource. In this setting, we are given a set jobs, each of which is characterized by a processing time, a weight, and the job also has some resource requirement.…

Distributed cloud networking builds on network functions virtualization (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN) to enable the deployment of network services in the form of elastic virtual network functions (VNFs) instantiated over…

Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an application is significantly complicated and challenging…

We study a convex resource allocation problem in which lower and upper bounds are imposed on partial sums of allocations. This model is linked to a large range of applications, including production planning, speed optimization, stratified…
