Spectral Efficiency of Multi-User Adaptive Cognitive Radio Networks
In this correspondence, the comprehensive problem of joint power, rate, and
subcarrier allocation have been investigated for enhancing the spectral
efficiency of multi-user orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA)
cognitive radio (CR) networks subject to satisfying total average transmission
power and aggregate interference constraints. We propose novel optimal radio
resource allocation (RRA) algorithms under different scenarios with
deterministic and probabilistic interference violation limits based on a
perfect and imperfect availability of cross-link channel state information
(CSI). In particular, we propose a probabilistic approach to mitigate the total
imposed interference on the primary service under imperfect cross-link CSI. A
closed-form mathematical formulation of the cumulative density function (cdf)
for the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is formulated
to evaluate the resultant average spectral efficiency (ASE). Dual decomposition
is utilized to obtain sub-optimal solutions for the non-convex optimization
problems. Through simulation results, we investigate the achievable performance
and the impact of parameters uncertainty on the overall system performance.
Furthermore, we present that the developed RRA algorithms can considerably
improve the cognitive performance whilst abide the imposed power constraints.
In particular, the performance under imperfect cross-link CSI knowledge for the
proposed `probabilistic case' is compared to the conventional scenarios to show
the potential gain in employing this scheme
Communication-efficient Distributed Multi-resource Allocation
In several smart city applications, multiple resources must be allocated
among competing agents that are coupled through such shared resources and are
constrained --- either through limitations of communication infrastructure or
privacy considerations. We propose a distributed algorithm to solve such
distributed multi-resource allocation problems with no direct inter-agent
communication. We do so by extending a recently introduced additive-increase
multiplicative-decrease (AIMD) algorithm, which only uses very little
communication between the system and agents. Namely, a control unit broadcasts
a one-bit signal to agents whenever one of the allocated resources exceeds
capacity. Agents then respond to this signal in a probabilistic manner. In the
proposed algorithm, each agent makes decision of its resource demand locally
and an agent is unaware of the resource allocation of other agents. In
empirical results, we observe that the average allocations converge over time
to optimal allocations.Comment: To appear in IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2 2018),

Equilibration through local information exchange in networks
We study the equilibrium states of energy functions involving a large set of
real variables, defined on the links of sparsely connected networks, and
interacting at the network nodes, using the cavity and replica methods. When
applied to the representative problem of network resource allocation, an
efficient distributed algorithm is devised, with simulations showing full
agreement with theory. Scaling properties with the network connectivity and the
resource availability are found.Comment: v1: 7 pages, 1 figure, v2: 4 pages, 2 figures, simplified analysis
