• Band allocation for cognitive radios with buffered primary and secondary users 

      El Shafie A.; Sultan A.; Khattab T. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      In this paper, we study band allocation of Ms buffered secondary users (SUs) to Mp orthogonal primary licensed bands, where each primary band is assigned to one primary user (PU). Each SU is assigned to one of the available ...
    • On orthogonal band allocation for multiuser multiband cognitive radio networks: Stability analysis 

      El Shafie, Ahmed; Khattab, Tamer ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)
      In this work, we study the problem of band allocation of Mi buffered (i.e., with data queues capable of storing incoming traffic packets) secondary users (SUs) to Mp primary frequency bands licensed to (owned by) Mp buffered ...
    • Traffic engineering in cloud data centers: A column generation approach 

      Ayoubi, Sara; Sebbah, Samir; Shaban, Khaled; Assi, Chadi ( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      While many have advocated for the use of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) as a way to provide scalable traffic management, finding the optimal traffic split (mapping) among VLANs to achieve load balancing has turned out ...
