Joint Bandwidth and Power Allocation with Admission Control in Wireless Multi-User Networks With and Without Relaying
Equal allocation of bandwidth and/or power may not be efficient for wireless
multi-user networks with limited bandwidth and power resources. Joint bandwidth
and power allocation strategies for wireless multi-user networks with and
without relaying are proposed in this paper for (i) the maximization of the sum
capacity of all users; (ii) the maximization of the worst user capacity; and
(iii) the minimization of the total power consumption of all users. It is shown
that the proposed allocation problems are convex and, therefore, can be solved
efficiently. Moreover, the admission control based joint bandwidth and power
allocation is considered. A suboptimal greedy search algorithm is developed to
solve the admission control problem efficiently. The conditions under which the
greedy search is optimal are derived and shown to be mild. The performance
improvements offered by the proposed joint bandwidth and power allocation are
demonstrated by simulations. The advantages of the suboptimal greedy search
algorithm for admission control are also shown.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figures, submitted to IEEE Trans. Signal Processing in

Energy-efficient wireless communication
In this chapter we present an energy-efficient highly adaptive network interface architecture and a novel data link layer protocol for wireless networks that provides Quality of Service (QoS) support for diverse traffic types. Due to the dynamic nature of wireless networks, adaptations in bandwidth scheduling and error control are necessary to achieve energy efficiency and an acceptable quality of service. In our approach we apply adaptability through all layers of the protocol stack, and provide feedback to the applications. In this way the applications can adapt the data streams, and the network protocols can adapt the communication parameters
Robust measurement-based buffer overflow probability estimators for QoS provisioning and traffic anomaly prediction applicationm
Suitable estimators for a class of Large Deviation approximations of rare
event probabilities based on sample realizations of random processes have been
proposed in our earlier work. These estimators are expressed as non-linear
multi-dimensional optimization problems of a special structure. In this paper,
we develop an algorithm to solve these optimization problems very efficiently
based on their characteristic structure. After discussing the nature of the
objective function and constraint set and their peculiarities, we provide a
formal proof that the developed algorithm is guaranteed to always converge. The
existence of efficient and provably convergent algorithms for solving these
problems is a prerequisite for using the proposed estimators in real time
problems such as call admission control, adaptive modulation and coding with
QoS constraints, and traffic anomaly detection in high data rate communication
