Fair resource allocation in multiple access channels
We consider the problem of resource allocation in a multiple access channel. Our objective is to obtain rate and power allocation policies that maximize a general concave utility function of average transmission rates over the information theoretic capacity region of the multiple-access channel. We …

Multi-type Fair Resource Allocation for Distributed Multi-Robot Systems
<p>Fair resource allocation is essential to ensure that all resource requesters acquire adequate resources and accomplish tasks. We propose solutions to the fairness problem in multi-type resource allocation for multi-robot systems that have multiple resource requesters. We apply the dominant …

Efficient and Fair Scheduling for Wireless Networks
We then consider the problem of fair end-to-end resource allocation in wireless networks. First, we consider the problem of allocating resources (time slots, frequency, power, etc.) at a base station to many competing flows, where each flow is intended for a different receiver. The channel …

Wireless Networks for Communication and Sensing
… algorithms on quality of service (QoS) and fairness. In particular, for cellular downlink networks, we show that QLB policies outperform greedy policies in the presence of QoS constraints, and when used in conjunction with congestion control, we also show that QLB algorithms lead to fair …

Procedural Fairness: How Employees Evaluate Procedures
… that examine the effects of variation in resource allocation procedure, enactment and outcome on procedural and distributive fairness judgments are reported. The laboratory study tested these effects on the reactions of subjects in a business simulation. Subjects who were given the …

Traffic Control in Packet Switched Networks
… achieve high network throughput and fair resource allocation. While there are similarities in the operation of the two algorithms, their applicability is different as they allocate resources to multiple paths between two network nodes which are available in the defined routing …

Transport layer protocol design over flow-switched data networks
… (OFS). Specifically, flow control and fair resource allocation through windowing in TCP are unnecessary in an OFS network. Moreover TCP has poor throughput and delay performance at high transfer rates due to window flow control and window closing with missing or dropped packets. In OFS, …

Spectrum management in cognitive radio wireless networks
… underutilization and waste of valuable frequency resources. Consequently, dynamic spectrum access techniques are proposed to solve these current spectrum inefficiency problems. This new area of research foresees the development of cognitive radio (CR) networks to further improve spectrum …

Developmental underpinnings of expectations of equity and attitudes toward resource disparities
… roots of expectations and attitudes toward fairness and equity, focusing on two major questions: 1) do infants have an equity-based sense of fairness in allocation-related contexts in which they can evaluate equal outcomes as unfair, and 2) do toddlers hold differential attitudes toward …

Collaborative Information Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks for Diffusive Source Estimation
… the diffusive field of interest. Efficient power allocation can play an important role in extending the lifetime of a resource constrained WSN. Resource-constrained WSNs rely on collaborative signal and information processing for efficient handling of large volumes of data collected by the sensor …

Large-scale optimization for green logistics and stochastic resource allocation for food security
… utilizing large-scale optimization, stochastic resource allocation, and data-analytics methodologies. We focused on three main research questions: 1) How can retailers build green, efficient last-mile logistics system when the objective is to maximize their profit and minimize the costs due to …

MODELING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
… (IaaS), radios and radio resources in a wireless network can also be provisioned as a service to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which we refer to as Radio-as-a-Service (RaaS). In this thesis, we present a novel auction-based model to enable fair pricing and fair …
