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 ...
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 ...
Incentive mechanisms for user-provided networks
(2014)
The increasing mobile data demand and the proliferation of advanced handheld devices place user-provided networks in a conspicuous position for next-generation network architectures. There has been growing consensus that ...
C2M: Mobile data offloading to mesh networks
(2014)
As the unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic places significant strain on cellular networks, alternative plans for exploiting already existing and under-utilized wireless infrastructure, become quite attractive. In ...
