A new method for energy-efficient file delivery in small cell networks.
problem Efficient resource management in femto-caching with time-variant statistical properties.
method Formulates a resource allocation problem as a stochastic knapsack problem and a multi-armed bandit problem, developing solutions for each.
result The proposed method maximizes the accumulated utility over the horizon, especially suitable for networks with time-variant statistical properties.
Multi-cell cooperative processing with limited backhaul traffic is studied for cellular uplinks. Aiming at reduced backhaul overhead, a sparsity-regularized multi-cell receive-filter design problem is formulated. Both unstructured distributed cooperation as well as clustered cooperation, in which base station groups ar…
We study classification problems where features are corrupted by noise and where the magnitude of the noise in each feature is influenced by the resources allocated to its acquisition. This is the case, for example, when multiple sensors share a common resource (power, bandwidth, attention, etc.). We develop a method f…
Lotteries improve resource allocation for players with complex preferences.
problem Improving resource allocation for players with cumulative-prospect-theoretic preferences.
method Formulate an optimization problem to find optimal lottery allocations, prove existence of equilibrium prices, and derive qualitative features of optimal lottery structures.
result Lotteries can increase aggregate utility over deterministic allocations for players with cumulative-prospect-theoretic preferences.
The densification of small-cell base stations in a 5G architecture is a promising approach to enhance the coverage area and facilitate the ever increasing capacity demand of end users. However, the bottleneck is an intelligent management of a backhaul/fronthaul network for these small-cell base stations. This involves …
The paper evaluates index-based allocation policies using data from randomized control trials.
problem Evaluating index-based allocation policies in resource-scarce scenarios.
method Using data from randomized control trials, the paper introduces an efficient estimator and methods for computing asymptotically correct confidence intervals.
result Valid statistical conclusions can be drawn for index-based allocation policies.
We study a sequential resource allocation problem between a fixed number of arms. On each iteration the algorithm distributes a resource among the arms in order to maximize the expected success rate. Allocating more of the resource to a given arm increases the probability that it succeeds, yet with a cut-off. We follow…
Existing approaches to resource allocation for nowadays stochastic networks are challenged to meet fast convergence and tolerable delay requirements. The present paper leverages online learning advances to facilitate stochastic resource allocation tasks. By recognizing the central role of Lagrange multipliers, the unde…
Some agent-based models for growth and allocation of resources are described. The first class considered consists of conservative models, where the number of agents and the size of resources are constant during time evolution. The second class is made up of multiplicative noise models and some of their extensions to co…

problem Optimizing cybersecurity resource allocation in networks with heterogeneous attacker and defender valuations.
method Combining strategic behavior of players with contagion dynamics, a method is extended to determine optimal resource allocation based on simple network metrics weighted by risk profiles.
result The asymmetry between attacker and defender valuations drives optimal attack and defense strategies, shaping system resilience.

method Formulated as an optimization problem to minimize FL loss function, derived expected convergence rate, derived optimal transmit power, optimized user selection and RB allocation.
result Joint framework reduces FL loss by up to 10% and 16% compared to alternatives.
