In this article we propose to facilitate local peer-to-peer communication by a Device-to-
Device (D2D) radio that operates as an underlay network to an IMT-Advanced cellular …

We address device-to-device (D2D) communication as a potential resource reuse technique
underlaying the cellular network. We consider the shared channel of the two systems as an …

Many problems in sensor networks can be formulated as optimization problems. Existing
distributed optimization algorithms typically rely on choosing a step size to ensure …

We consider Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying a cellular network to
accommodate local services. The system aims to optimize the overall cell throughput while …

Many problems associated with networked systems can be formulated as network utility
maximization (NUM) problems. Dual decomposition is a widely used distributed algorithm …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a
high-performance and low cost solution to last-mile broadband Internet access. Wireless …

Emerging cellular networks are likely to handle users with heterogeneous quality of service
requirements attending to the nature of their underlying service application, the quality of …

In mobile ad hoc peer-to-peer (M-P2P) networks, economic models become a necessity for
enticing non-cooperative mobile peers to provide service. M-P2P users may issue queries …

Many problems associated with networked systems can be formulated as network utility
maximization (NUM) problems. This paper presents a distributed primal-dual algorithm for …

Wireless Mesh Networks are mainly used for providing last-mile broadband wireless access.
It is then highly recommended to ensure fairness among different users regardless of their …
