Resource Allocation using Genetic Algorithm in Multimedia Wireless Networks
Resource allocations in wireless networks is a very challenging task, at one hand wireless networks have scarce resources and suffers from many limitations. At the other hand, typical resource allocation problems requires extensive amount of computations and are usually NP-hard problems. Hence, there is dire need for effective and feasible solutions. Resource allocation problems are concerned in distributing the available networkâs resources to all active users in a fair way. Although fairness is hard to define, this work considers the fairness aspects for both, the users and the network operator (service provider). Bio-inspired algorithm are used in many context to provide simple and effective solution tochallenging problems. This works employs Genetic Algorithm to provide effective solution to resource allocation problem for multimedia allocation in wireless networks. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated using simulation. The obtained simulation results show that the proposed solutionachieved better performance

A connection-level call admission control using genetic algorithm for MultiClass multimedia services in wireless networks
Call admission control in a wireless cell in a personal communication system (PCS) can be modeled as an M/M/C/C queuing system with m classes of users. Semi-Markov Decision Process (SMDP) can be used to optimize channel utilization with upper bounds on handoff blocking probabilities as Quality of Service constraints. However, this method is too time-consuming and therefore it fails when state space and action space are large. In this paper, we apply a genetic algorithm approach to address the situation when the SMDP approach fails. We code call admission control decisions as binary strings, where a value of â1â in the position i (i=1,âŚm) of a decision string stands for the decision of accepting a call in class-i; a value of â0â in the position i of the decision string stands for the decision of rejecting a call in class-i. The coded binary strings are feed into the genetic algorithm, and the resulting binary strings are founded to be near optimal call admission control decisions. Simulation results from the genetic algorithm are compared with the optimal solutions obtained from linear programming for the SMDP approach. The results reveal that the genetic algorithm approximates the optimal approach very well with less complexity
Bio-Inspired Resource Allocation for Relay-Aided Device-to-Device Communications
The Device-to-Device (D2D) communication principle is a key enabler of direct
localized communication between mobile nodes and is expected to propel a
plethora of novel multimedia services. However, even though it offers a wide
set of capabilities mainly due to the proximity and resource reuse gains,
interference must be carefully controlled to maximize the achievable rate for
coexisting cellular and D2D users. The scope of this work is to provide an
interference-aware real-time resource allocation (RA) framework for relay-aided
D2D communications that underlay cellular networks. The main objective is to
maximize the overall network throughput by guaranteeing a minimum rate
threshold for cellular and D2D links. To this direction, genetic algorithms
(GAs) are proven to be powerful and versatile methodologies that account for
not only enhanced performance but also reduced computational complexity in
emerging wireless networks. Numerical investigations highlight the performance
gains compared to baseline RA methods and especially in highly dense scenarios
which will be the case in future 5G networks.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resource Management in Network Slicing
Network slicing is born as an emerging business to operators, by allowing
them to sell the customized slices to various tenants at different prices. In
order to provide better-performing and cost-efficient services, network slicing
involves challenging technical issues and urgently looks forward to intelligent
innovations to make the resource management consistent with users' activities
per slice. In that regard, deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which focuses on
how to interact with the environment by trying alternative actions and
reinforcing the tendency actions producing more rewarding consequences, is
assumed to be a promising solution. In this paper, after briefly reviewing the
fundamental concepts of DRL, we investigate the application of DRL in solving
some typical resource management for network slicing scenarios, which include
radio resource slicing and priority-based core network slicing, and demonstrate
the advantage of DRL over several competing schemes through extensive
simulations. Finally, we also discuss the possible challenges to apply DRL in
network slicing from a general perspective.Comment: The manuscript has been accepted by IEEE Access in Nov. 201
Cognitive Radio for Emergency Networks
In the scope of the Adaptive Ad-hoc Freeband (AAF) project, an emergency network built on top of Cognitive Radio is proposed to alleviate the spectrum shortage problem which is the major limitation for emergency networks. Cognitive
Radio has been proposed as a promising technology to solve
todayâ?~B??~D?s spectrum scarcity problem by allowing a secondary user in the non-used parts of the spectrum that aactully are assigned to primary services. Cognitive Radio has to work in different frequency bands and various wireless channels and supports multimedia services. A heterogenous reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture is proposed to enable the evolution from the traditional software defined radio to Cognitive Radio
