We consider a class of restless multi-armed bandit problems (RMBP) that arises in dynamic multichannel access, user/server scheduling, and optimal activation in multi-agent systems. For this class of RMBP, we establish the indexability and…

A spurt of progress in wireless power transfer (WPT) and mobile edge computing (MEC) provides a promising approach for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to enhance the quality and productivity of manufacturing. Scheduling in such a…

A hard-deadline, opportunistic scheduling problem in which $B$ bits must be transmitted within $T$ time-slots over a time-varying channel is studied: the transmitter must decide how many bits to serve in each slot based on knowledge of the…

The overall performance of a distributed system is highly dependent on the communication efficiency of the system. Although network resources (links, bandwidth) are becoming increasingly more available, the communication performance of data…

Imitation is widely observed in populations of decision-making agents. Using our recent convergence results for asynchronous imitation dynamics on networks, we consider how such networks can be efficiently driven to a desired equilibrium…

Deriving competitive, distributed solutions to multi-agent problems is crucial for many developing application domains; Game theory has emerged as a useful framework to design such algorithms. However, much of the attention within this…

The topology transition problem of transmission networks is becoming increasingly crucial with topological flexibility more widely leveraged to promote high renewable penetration. This paper proposes a novel methodology to address this…

The explosion in mobile data traffic together with the ever-increasing expectations for higher quality of service call for the development of AI algorithms for wireless network optimization. In this paper, we investigate how to learn…

This paper proposes a new lens for studying threshold games played on networks when the thresholds are heterogeneous. These are games where agents have two possible actions, and prefer action 1 if and only if enough of their neighbours…

The problem of designing policies for in-network function computation with minimum energy consumption subject to a latency constraint is considered. The scaling behavior of the energy consumption under the latency constraint is analyzed for…

We consider a single-hop switched queueing network. Amongst a plethora of applications, these networks have been used to model wireless networks and input queued switches. The MaxWeight scheduling policies have proved popular, chiefly,…

LTE is an emerging wireless data communication technology to provide broadband ubiquitous Internet access. Femtocells are included in 3GPP since Release 8 to enhance the indoor network coverage and capacity. The main challenge of mobility…

The ubiquitous services of wireless communication networks are growing rapidly by the development of wireless communication technologies. While a user is roaming from one cell to another cell, an intelligent decision mechanism and network…

Recommender systems relying on contextual multi-armed bandits continuously improve relevant item recommendations by taking into account the contextual information. The objective of bandit algorithms is to learn the best arm (e.g., best item…

For millimeter-wave networks, this paper presents a paradigm shift for leveraging time-consecutive camera images in handover decision problems. While making handover decisions, it is important to predict future long-term performance---e.g.,…

Development of many futuristic technologies, such as MANET, VANET, iThings, nano-devices, depend on efficient distributed communication protocols in multi-hop ad hoc networks. A vast majority of research in this area focus on design…

When nodes can repeatedly update their behavior (as in agent-based models from computational social science or repeated-game play settings) the problem of optimal network seeding becomes very complex. For a popular spreading-phenomena model…

Network densification is found to be a potential solution to meet 5G capacity standards. Network densification offers more capacity by shrinking base stations' (BSs) footprints, thus reduces the number of users served by each BS. However,…

We present an analysis of large-scale load balancing systems, where the processing time distribution of tasks depends on both the task and server types. Our study focuses on the asymptotic regime, where the number of servers and task types…

Wireless networking is becoming an increasingly important and popular way of providing global information access to users on the move. One of the main challenges for seamless mobility is the availability of simple and robust handoff…
