(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
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 ...
Implementation and Analysis of Reward Functions under Different Traffic Models for Distributed DSA Systems
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
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 ...
Malicious-proof and fair credit-based resource allocation techniques for DSA systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for dynamic spectrum access that is robust against malicious and selfish behaviors and ensures good overall system fairness performance while also allowing spectrum ...

The Internet of Vehicle (IoV) network refers to networking technologies that could support highly economical and effective communication channels for interactions between vehicles. The success of IoV relies on efficient ...
Toward energy-efficient cloud computing: Prediction, consolidation, and overcommitment
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Energy consumption has become a significant concern for cloud service providers due to financial as well as environmental factors. As a result, cloud service providers are seeking innovative ways that allow them to reduce ...
A near-optimal LLR based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme for CRAHNs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs), cooperative spectrum sensing schemes exploit spatial diversity of the Secondary Users (SUs), to reliably detect an unoccupied licensed spectrum. Soft energy combining schemes ...
Asynchronous flow scheduling for green ambient assisted living communications
(
