Read more arrow_right_altSampling a large network with a given distribution has been identified as a useful operation to build network overlays. For example, constructing small world network topologies can be done by sampling with a probability that depends on the distance to a given node. In this talk we describe algorithms that can be used by a source node to randomly select a node in a network with probability distributions that depend on their distance.

As a consequence, inter-cell interference is becoming the most serious obstacle towards spectral efficiency. Therefore, considering that radio resources are limited and expensive, new techniques are required for efficient radio resource allocation in next generation cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a pure frequency reuse 1 scheme based on base station scheduling rather than the commonly adopted user scheduling. In particular, we formulate a base station scheduling problem to determine which base stations can be scheduled to simultaneously transmit, without causing excessive interference to any user of any of the scheduled base stations. We show that finding the optimal base station scheduling is NP-hard, and formulate the BASICS (BAse Station Inter-Cell Scheduling) algorithm, a novel heuristic to approximate the optimal solution at low complexity cost. The proposed algorithm is in line with the ABSF (almost blank sub-frame) technique recently standardized at the 3GPP. By means of numerical and packet-level simulations, we prove the effectiveness and superiority of BASICS as compared to the state of the art of inter-cell interference mitigation schemes.

In this paper I'll take an in-depth look at the problem of greeningaccess networks, identify three root problems, and propose practical solutionsfor their user- and ISP-parts. On the user side, the combination of continuous light traffic and lack of alternative paths condemnsgateways to being powered most of the time despite having Sleep-on-Idle (SoI) capabilities.

As far as we know, B-Neck is the first max-min fair distributed algorithm that does not require a continuous injection of control traffic to compute the rates. When changes occur, affected sessions are asynchronously informed, so they can start the process of computing their new rate (i.e., sessions do not need to poll the network for changes). The correctness of B-Neck is formally proved, and extensive simulations are conducted. In them it is shown that B-Neck converges relatively fast and behaves nicely in presence of sessions arriving and de- parting.
