From a network point of view, the goal is to offload as many users as possible from the backbone network to the wireless caches while at the same time offering good service to cache-unrelated users. Aggressive offloading can lead to an unbalanced user association. Some wireless nodes can be overloaded by cache-related traffic while the resources of others remain underused. Given a fixed content placement, this work proposes an efficient distributed algorithm to control and balance the association of cache-related traffic among cellular cache memories. The algorithm allows the network to achieve the globally optimal solution and can be executed on base stations using a limited amount of information exchange between them. It is based on a novel algorithm we call Bucket-filling. The solution limits the cache-users per node by balancing the total load among the nodes in a fair way. The improvement compared to common user assignment policies is highlighted for single-as well as for multi-tier random networks.","PeriodicalId":6630,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73447056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the type of activation rules for which throughput optimality has been established, may result in excessive backlogs and delays. The use of more aggressive/persistent access schemes than these can improve the delay performance, but does not offer any universal maximum-stability guarantees. Motivated by the above issues, we use fluid limits to explore the (in)stability properties of backlog-based random-access algorithms. Such fluid limits have varying qualitative properties, dependent on the specific scenario, ranging from ones with smooth deterministic features, to others which exhibit random oscillatory characteristics. It turns out that more aggressive access schemes continue to provide maximum stability in some networks, e.g. complete interference graphs. As we show however, in other topologies such schemes can drive the system into inefficient states and thus cause instability. Simulation experiments are conducted to illustrate and validate the analytical results.","PeriodicalId":6630,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"1 1","pages":"15-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73439953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultimately the notion of channel quality should include both the signal quality and the level of congestion, and a good multi-channel access scheme should take both into account in deciding which channel to use and when. Motivated by this, we focus on the congestion aspect and examine what type of dynamic channel switching schemes may result in the best system throughput performance. Specifically we derive the stability region of a multi-user multi-channel WLAN system and determine the throughput optimal channel switching scheme within a certain class of schemes.","PeriodicalId":6630,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"22 1","pages":"383-388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83303972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is possible to also use the idea of cooperation at the MAC and Network layers in very simple ways that provide further performance improvements. We focus on the objective of stable throughput region which requires that delays are finite when packet arrivals are random and demonstrate how simple relaying can increase the region of arrival rates that can be accommodated with finite delays. The reasons for the improvement are subtle and suggest far-reaching ossibilities regarding “stable capacity regions”. Also, we consider another form of cooperative routing for the case of sensor networks and again demonstrate how cooperation can be thought of in a much broader sense than the one that has prevailed until now.","PeriodicalId":6630,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"64 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84213909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the number of independent measurements of the data vector is limited so the sample covariance matrix is usually singular. The traditional remedy for singularity is diagonal loading - the addition of a small identity matrix to make the covariance estimate invertible. An alternative to diagonal loading is to reduce the dimension of the data vectors to be smaller than the number of independent observations through an ensemble of isotropically random (Haar measure) unitary matrices. For every member of the unitary ensemble, the shortened data vectors yield a statistically meaningful, invertible covariance estimate from which we can compute an estimate for the ultimate desired quantity. The final step is to take the expectation of this estimate with respect to the unitary ensemble. For a class of applications that includes adaptive spectral estimation, the design of a linear estimator, and supervised learning the random matrix approach results in an estimate for the inverse covariance matrix which preserves the eigenvectors of the sample covariance matrix, but alters the eigenvalues in a nontrivial manner. A closed-form expression for the expectation over the unitary ensemble eludes us, but we have obtained a tractable asymptotic expression. Preliminary numerical results indicate considerable promise for this approach.","PeriodicalId":6630,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt)","volume":"70 3 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80309110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We will propose a simple test for frequency band sensing in wireless networks. The test is based on the analysis of the ratio of the extreme eigenvalues related to the gain matrix of the channel. The novelty relies in the fact that the test does not require the knowledge of the noise statistics. Large random matrix results allow us to build the threshold for the test, and also to study its type II error. This in particular enables us to compare this test with a different although popular test already proposed in the literature.
