In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...

This paper proposes a cognitive radio-based dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for secondary users in a cluster-based WiMAX network. It uses a learning automata-based algorithm to find the optimal transmission channel, ...

With the recent advancements in networking technologies, some new emerging networks are being implemented that have the potential to be deployed broadly and on a large scale in the near future. In the wired domain, these ...

In this paper, we implement and analyze a resource allocation protocol for distributed dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) systems. The DSA protocol is a learning-based protocol that allows secondary users (SU) to exploit ...

This paper proposes an optimal power allocation analysis for a point-to-point wireless system when powered by a smart grid. We propose to minimize the total power consumption cost while ensuring individual and total ...

This paper proposes an efficient spectrum and power allocation solution for a large scale dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems. Unlike conventional methods relying on optimization techniques which need huge computational ...

This paper studies the outage probability minimization problem for a multiple relay network with energy harvesting constraints. The relays are hybrid nodes used for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer from ...

Consolidating virtual machines (VMs) on as few physical machines (PMs) as possible so as to turn into sleep as many PMs as possible can make significant energy savings in cloud centers. Although traditional online bin ...

We propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for wireless systems with dynamic spectrum access (DSA) capability, such as multichannel wireless sensor networks. The proposed technique is robust against selfish ...

Recently, many dynamic spectrum allocation schemes based on economics are proposed to improve spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, existing mechanisms do not take into account the economic ...
