This work studies resource allocation in a cloud market through the auction of Virtual
Machine (VM) instances. It generalizes the existing literature by introducing combinatorial …

In this paper, we tackle the spectrum allocation problem in cognitive radio (CR) networks
with time-frequency flexibility consideration using combinatorial auction. Different from all …

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is emerging as a new paradigm for providing elastic
network functions through flexible virtual network function (VNF) instances executed on …

Network function virtualization (NFV) is an emerging scheme to provide virtualized network
function services for next-generation networks. However, finding an efficient way to distribute …

We study combinatorial auctions for secondary spectrum markets, where short-term
communication licenses are sold to wireless nodes. Channels can be assigned to multiple …

Many spectrum auction mechanisms have been proposed for spectrum allocation problem,
and unfortunately, few of them protect the bid privacy of bidders and achieve good social …

Market-driven spectrum auctions offer an efficient way to improve spectrum utilization by
transferring unused or underused spectrum from its primary license holder to spectrum …

To accommodate the soaring mobile broadband traffic, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) in the US sets out to retrieve under-utilized spectrum (eg, TV …

Opportunistic wireless channel access by non-licensed users has emerged as a promising
solution for addressing the bandwidth scarcity challenge. Auctions represent a natural …

In dynamic spectrum auction, if a buyer locates in a “critical” place, interfering with many
other buyers, its occupancy of the spectrum may deprive many others the transmission …
