An iterative double auction for mobile data offloading
(2013)
Mobile data offloading through complementary network technologies such as WiFi and femtocell can significantly alleviate network congestion and enhance users' QoS. In this paper we consider a market where mobile network ...
Economics of mobile data offloading
(2013)
Mobile data offloading is a promising approach to alleviate network congestion and enhance quality of service (QoS) in mobile cellular networks. In this paper, we investigate the economics of mobile data offloading through ...
Bargaining-based mobile data offloading
(2014)
The unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic challenges the performance and economic viability of today's cellular networks and calls for novel network architectures and communication solutions. Data offloading through ...
Multicast-aware caching for small cell networks
(2014)
The deployment of small cells is expected to gain huge momentum in the near future, as a solution for managing the skyrocketing mobile data demand growth. Local caching of popular files at the small cell base stations has ...
Video delivery over heterogeneous cellular networks: Optimizing cost and performance
(2014)
Video delivery to mobile users is one of the largest challenges that network operators face today. In this work we consider a heterogeneous cellular network with storage capable small-cell base stations, and study this ...
Hybrid data pricing for network-assisted user-provided connectivity
(2014)
User-provided connectivity (UPC) is a promising paradigm to achieve a low-cost ubiquitous connectivity. In this paper, we study a network-assisted UPC service model, where a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) enables ...
Approximation Algorithms for Mobile Data Caching in Small Cell Networks
(2014)
Small cells constitute a promising solution for managing the mobile data growth that has overwhelmed network operators. Local caching of popular content items at the small cell base stations (SBSs) has been proposed to ...
Enabling crowd-sourced mobile Internet access
(2014)
Crowd-sourced mobile Internet access services enable mobile users to connect with each other and share their Internet connections. This is a promising solution for addressing users' increasing needs for ubiquitous connectivity ...
A framework for mobile data offloading to leased cache-endowed small cell networks
(2015)
Cache-endowed small cell networks constitute a timely and effective solution for mobile network operators (MNOs) who strive to serve the massive content demand of the mobile users. However, the deployment of small cell ...
Auction-based scheduling of wireless testbed resources
(2014)
Experimentation in testbeds is gaining increasing ground as a necessary validation step for every theoretical study in communication networks. However, the first-come-first-served policy employed today by most testbeds ...
