Network congestion and packet loss pose an ever-increasing challenge to video streaming. Despite the research efforts toward making video encoding schemes resilient to lossy network conditions, forwarding devices have not considered…

In this paper, a unifying framework for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multiuser resource allocation is presented. The isolated seeming problems of maximizing a weighted sum of rates for a given power budget $\bar{P}$ and…

Traffic for internet video streaming has been rapidly increasing and is further expected to increase with the higher definition videos and IoT applications, such as 360 degree videos and augmented virtual reality applications. While…

This paper addresses the four enabling technologies, namely multi-user sparse code multiple access (SCMA), content caching, energy harvesting, and physical layer security for proposing an energy and spectral efficient resource allocation…

Hierarchical edge-cloud computing-aided Internet of Things (IoT) networks offer low-latency and cost-efficient services to a growing number of data-intensive IoT devices. However, optimizing service placement, which involves determining the…

Since multimedia streaming has become very popular research topic in the recent years, this paper surveys the state of art techniques introduced for multimedia multicasting over mobile networks. In this paper, we give an overview of…

In this paper, we present a novel approach for robust optimal resource allocation with joint carrier aggregation to allocate multiple carriers resources optimally among users with elastic and inelastic traffic in cellular networks. We use…

We consider scheduling and resource allocation in long-term evolution (LTE) networks across voice over LTE (VoLTE) and best-effort data users. The difference between these two is that VoLTE users get scheduling priority to receive their…

We analyze a distributed system where n nodes called boxes store a large set of videos and collaborate to serve simultaneously n videos or less. We explore under which conditions such a system can be scalable while serving any sequence of…

Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular wireless networks is a promising concept to improve user experience and resource utilization by allowing direct transmission between two cellular devices. In this paper, performance…

Adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) has been widely adopted to support video streaming services over heterogeneous devices and varying network conditions. With ABR, each video content is transcoded into multiple representations in different…

The importance of content delivery networks (CDN) continues to rise with the exponential increase in the generation and consumption of electronic media. In order to ensure a high quality of experience, CDNs often deploy cache servers that…

The problem of distributed rate maximization in multi-channel ALOHA networks is considered. First, we study the problem of constrained distributed rate maximization, where user rates are subject to total transmission probability…

The amount of transmitted data in computer networks is expected to grow considerably in the future, putting more and more pressure on the network infrastructures. In order to guarantee a good service, it then becomes fundamental to use the…

Given the increasing demand from wireless applications, designing energy-efficient group communication protocols is of great importance to multi-hop wireless networks. A group communication session involves a set of member nodes, each of…

The heterogeneity in cellular networks that comprise multiple base stations types imposes new challenges in network planning and deployment. The Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques, such as dynamic sharing of the available resources…

Most work on wireless network resource allocation use physical layer performance such as sum rate and outage probability as the figure of merit. These metrics may not reflect the true user QoS in future heterogenous networks (HetNets) with…

In this paper, we propose a preference-aware cooperative video streaming system for videos encoded using Scalable Video Coding (SVC) where all the collaborating users are interested in watching a video together on a shared screen. However,…

In this paper, a joint task, spectrum, and transmit power allocation problem is investigated for a wireless network in which the base stations (BSs) are equipped with mobile edge computing (MEC) servers to jointly provide computational and…

By offering shared computational facilities to which mobile devices can offload their computational tasks, the mobile edge computing framework is expanding the scope of applications that can be provided on resource-constrained devices. When…
