Intercell coordination and cooperation techniques are some of the most promising approaches to increase the spectral efficiency of future wireless systems as required by
the forecasted market needs. Among them, intercell coordinated scheduling (ICCS) arises as a near-term feasible solution due to its lower inter-BS communication requirements when compared to full cooperative approaches. In this paper we present our proposed Reservation Information Aware Intercell Coordinated Scheduling (RIA-ICCS) solution which considers application reservation information when constructing an interference graph for ICCS purposes.
In this talk, we discuss a theoretical framework to evaluate the throughput of underwater networks over an ensemble of node topologies and propagation environments. We start with a review of the properties of underwater acoustic communications.

Processors communicate in synchronous rounds by writing messages on a whiteboard, which is visible to all of them. The goal is to design a protocol at the end of which every processor knows the topology of the network.

Estamos interesados en las tareas que son comunes a todos los participantes o nodos del sistema. Cada uno de los nodos puede ejecutar estas tareas y, además, está interesado en que éstas se ejecuten. Cada nodo dispone de capacidad para la ejecución de cada una de las tareas. El coste para cada nodo es una información que no puede ser auditada y que es únicamente conocido por el nodo en cuestión. Suponemos que los nodos pueden mentir sobre su coste si eso les supone un beneficio; por ejemplo, por el ahorro que implicaría verse libre de ejecutar las tareas.

In such a setup, even an omniscient offline scheduling strategy cannot achieve stability of the packet queue, nor is it able to use up all the available bandwidth. Hence, an important first step is to identify an appropriate metric for measuring the efficiency of scheduling strategies in such a setting. To this end, we propose a relative throughput metric which corresponds to the long term competitive ratio of the algorithm with respect to the optimal. We then explore the impact of the error detection mechanism and feedback delay on our measure. We compare instantaneous error feedback with deferred error feedback that requires a faulty packet to be fully received in order to detect the error. We propose algorithms for worst-case adversarial and stochastic packet arrival models, and formally analyze their performance. The relative throughput achieved by these algorithms is shown to be close to optimal by deriving lower bounds on the relative throughput of the algorithms and almost matching upper bounds for any algorithm in the considered settings. Our collection of results demonstrates the potential of using instantaneous feedback to improve the performance of communication systems in adverse environments.

We focus on detecting anomalies which, despite their significant impact on the routing system, remain concealed from state of the art tools. We design a machine learning system to winnow the prefixes with unintended limited visibility – symptomatic of anomalous events – from the prefixes with intended limited visibility – resulting from legitimate routing operations.

The next critical step is to bring the sense of “touch” over network connections, which is commonly known as Tele-haptics. Haptics, a term which was derived from the Greek verb “haptesthai” meaning “to touch”, introduces the sense of touch and force into the human-computer interaction. Currently, research on haptics is broadly categorized into human haptics, machine haptics, and computer haptics. Human haptics is mostly conducted by psychologists to study the mechanism of the “touch” modality, while machine haptics refers to the design of haptic devices to reproduce the sense of “touch”.

Whereas prior work optimizes capacity, we investigate the finite horizon problem where (once or repeatedly) a fixed number of packets has to be transmitted to a set of wireless receivers in the shortest amount of time -- a common problem, e.g., for software updates or video multicast.
