We study the problem of user association, i.e., determining which base station (BS) a user should associate with, in a dense millimeter wave (mmWave) network. In our system model, in each time slot, a user arrives with some probability in a…

In wireless networks, algorithms for user association, i.e., the task of choosing the base station (BS) that every arriving user should join, significantly impact the network performance. A wireless network with multiple BSs, operating on…

We address the problem of beam scheduling for downlink transmissions in a single-cell millimeter wave (mmWave) network. The cell contains a mmWave base station (mBS) and its associated users. At the end of each time slot, a packet arrives…

User association is necessary in dense millimeter wave (mmWave) networks to determine which base station a user connects to in order to balance base station loads and maximize throughput. Given that mmWave connections are highly directional…

Commonly considered user association frameworks in millimeter-wave communications are based on the sum rate maximization, and they essentially neglect user specific rate and service requirements. Furthermore, new features of millimeter-wave…

User association determines which base stations a user connects to, hence affecting the amount of network interference and consequently the network throughput. Conventional user association schemes, however, assume that user instantaneous…

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication technologies have recently emerged as an attractive solution to meet the exponentially increasing demand on mobile data traffic. Moreover, ultra dense networks (UDNs) combined with mmWave technology…

In this paper, we consider a queueing system with multiple channels (or servers) and multiple classes of users. We aim at allocating the available channels among the users in such a way to minimize the expected total average queue length of…

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…

Millimeter wave (mmWave) systems are emerging as an essential technology to enable extremely high data rate wireless communications. The main limiting factors of mmWave systems are blockage (high penetration loss) and deafness (misalignment…

We consider the problem of scheduling packet transmissions in a wireless network of users while minimizing the energy consumed and the transmission delay. A challenge is that transmissions of users that are close to each other mutually…

In a millimeter wave (mmWave) network, user association, the process of deciding as to which base station (BS) a given user should associate with, is a crucial process which affects the throughput and delay performance seen by users in the…

We consider a wireless network in which a source node needs to transmit a large file to a destination node. The direct wireless link between the source and the destination is assumed to be blocked. Multiple candidate relays are available to…

Dynamic spectrum access problem is an important problem that allows a wireless sub-network to use channels temporarily unoccupied by the parent network for minimizing the spectrum waste. Previous work has shown that the sequential channel…

The millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is envisioned to provide orders of magnitude capacity improvement. However, it is challenging to realize a sufficient link margin due to high path loss and blockages. To address this difficulty, in…

In this paper we consider energy efficient scheduling in a multiuser setting where each user has a finite sized queue and there is a cost associated with holding packets (jobs) in each queue (modeling the delay constraints). The packets of…
