Optimal flow control and capacity allocation in multi-service networks

SH Rhee, T Konstantopoulos - … of the 37th IEEE Conference on …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The optimal flow control of noncooperative users in multiservice networks is investigated in a
game-theoretic way. We adopt a model that differs from previously considered ones in that a …

Decentralized optimal flow control with constrained source rates

SH Rhee, T Konstantopoulis - IEEE Communications Letters, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study optimal flow control in multiservice networks, in which users (controllers) optimize
their performance objectives in a decentralized manner. We adopt a model that differs from …

Competitive flow control in general multi‐node multi‐link communication networks

I Sahin, MA Simaan - International Journal of Communication …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we consider the flow control in a general multi‐node multi‐link communication
network with competing users. Each user has a source node, a destination node, and an …

Inefficient noncooperation in networking games of common-pool resources

H Kameda, E Altman - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study in this paper a noncooperative approach for sharing resources of a common pool
among users, wherein each user strives to maximize its own utility. The optimality notion is …

A flow and routing control policy for communication networks with multiple competitive users

I Sahin, MA Simaan - Journal of the Franklin Institute, 2006 - Elsevier
This paper is concerned with deriving an optimal flow and routing control policy for two-node
parallel link communication networks with multiple competing users. The model assumes …

On the existence of equilibria in noncooperative optimal flow control

YA Korilis, AA Lazar - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 1995 - dl.acm.org
The existence of Nash equilibria in noncooperative flow control in a general product-form
network shared by K users is investigated. The performance objective of each user is to …

Multi-user flow control as a Nash game: Performance of various algorithms

RT Maheswaran, T Basar - … of the 37th IEEE Conference on …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In Altman and Basar (1998), a dynamic game model of rate-based flow control was
introduced, capturing a scenario in a telecommunication network where M users share a …

Multi-user rate-based flow control: distributed game-theoretic algorithms

E Altman, T Basar - Proceedings of the 36th IEEE Conference …, 1997 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Flow and congestion control allow the users of a telecommunication network to regulate the
traffic they send into the network according to the quality of service that they require. The …

A pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation problem in networks

TM Stoenescu, JO Ledyard - … of the 45th IEEE Conference on …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a pricing mechanism which implements in Nash equilibria a rate allocation
problem in unicast service provisioning. This mechanism is different from the ones which …

Capacity allocation under noncooperative routing

YA Korilis, AA Lazar, A Orda - IEEE Transactions on Automatic …, 1997 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The capacity allocation problem in a network that is to be shared by noncooperative users is
considered. Each user decides independently upon its routing strategy so as to optimize its …
