In this paper, the task offloading from vehicles with random velocities is optimized via a novel dynamic improvement framework. Particularly, in a vehicular network with multiple vehicles and base stations (BSs), computing tasks of vehicles…

Load Balancing is a fundamental technology for scaling cloud infrastructure. It enables systems to distribute incoming traffic across backend servers using predefined algorithms such as round robin, weighted round robin, least connections,…

Location-Based Services (LBSs) provide invaluable aid in the everyday activities of many individuals, however they also pose serious threats to the user' privacy. There is, therefore, a growing interest in the development of mechanisms to…

Uplink-downlink decoupling in which users can be associated to different base stations in the uplink and downlink of heterogeneous small cell networks (SCNs) has attracted significant attention recently. However, most existing works focus…

The growing demand for intelligent services on resource-constrained edge devices has spurred the development of collaborative inference systems that distribute workloads across end devices, edge servers, and the cloud. While most existing…

A near-field simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) network is investigated, where the hybrid beamforming architecture is employed at the base station (BS) for information transmission while charging energy harvesting…

In this article, a network model incorporating both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) transmissions is proposed to investigate impacts of blockages in urban areas on heterogeneous network coverage performance. Results show…

Network load balancers are central components in data centers, that distributes workloads across multiple servers and thereby contribute to offering scalable services. However, when load balancers operate in dynamic environments with…

Multi-link Operation (MLO), arguably the most disruptive feature introduced in IEEE 802.11be, will cater for delay-sensitive applications by using multiple radio interfaces concurrently. In this paper, we analyze the delay distribution of…

In order to scale web or other services, the load on single instances of the respective service has to be balanced. Many services are stateful such that packets belonging to the same connection must be delivered to the same instance. This…

Achieving an end-to-end low-latency for computations offloading, in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) systems, is still a critical design problem. This is because the offloading of computational tasks via the MEC servers entails the use of uplink…

In this paper, we consider the automated planning of optimal paths for a robotic team satisfying a high level mission specification. Each robot in the team is modeled as a weighted transition system where the weights have associated…

The integration of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) with Terrestrial Networks (TN) is a key enabler for resilient 5G-Advanced and future 6G backhaul infrastructures. However, managing traffic across these highly asymmetric links remains a…
