We consider resource allocation for elastic wireless applications that measure utility by target connection average throughput and achieved throughput. We construct a framework for...
In the paper, a cross-layer optimization between application layer and fabric layer is proposed. The aim is to optimize the end-to-end quality of the dynamic grid application as we...
Abstract - Overlay multicast, which performs topology construction and data relaying in the application layer, has recently emerged as a promising vehicle for data distribution. In...
—In this paper, the IEEE 802.16 protocol is investigated with respect to the bandwidth provision problem arising at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The aim is to optimally...
Distributed applications require distributed techniques for efficient resource allocation. These techniques need to take into account the heterogeneity and potential unreliability...
