A Comparative Study of Resource Allocation Schemes in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks on the Downlink
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-29)Network densification through heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is considered as a promising paradigm to address the ever increasing mobile users’ data demands in 5G networks. A HetNet consists of macro cells (each with a ... -
Competitive Project Portfolio Management
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-21)Although project portfolio management (PPM) has been an active research area over the past 50 years, budget allocation models that consider competition are sparse. Firms faced with the project portfolio management problem ... -
Cooperative Relaying and Resource Allocation in Future-Generation Cellular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-15)Driven by the significant consumer demand for reliable and high data rate communications, the future-generation cellular systems are expected to employ cutting-edge techniques to improve the service provisioning at ... -
Heterogeneous Cellular Networks: From Resource Allocation To User Association
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-27)Heterogeneous networking paradigm addresses the ever growing need for capacity and coverage in wireless networks by deploying numerous low power base stations overlaying the existing macro cellular coverage. Heterogeneous ... -
Lossy Joint Source-Channel Coding for Energy Harvesting Communication Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-15)In this work, we study the problem of lossy joint source-channel coding in an energy harvesting single-user communication system with causal energy arrivals, where the energy storage unit may have leakage. In particular, ... -
Network-Layer Resource Allocation for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-14)This thesis contributes toward the design of a quality-of-service (QoS) aware network layer for wireless ad hoc networks. With the lack of an infrastructure in ad hoc networks, the role of the network layer is not only to ... -
Resource Allocation Decisions for the Internationalization of Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Firms
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-22)Abstract This research explores the problems of resource allocation during the process of internationalization by small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The literature largely portrays a positive view of ... -
Resource Allocation for Broadband Wireless Access Networks with Imperfect CSI
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-17)The high deployment and maintenance costs of last mile wireline networks (i.e., DSL and cable networks) have urged service providers to search for new cost-effective solutions to provide broadband connectivity. Broadband ... -
Resource Orchestration in Softwarized Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-24)Network softwarization is an emerging research area that is envisioned to revolutionize the way network infrastructure is designed, operated, and managed today. Contemporary telecommunication networks are going through a ... -
Stochastic Mechanisms for Truthfulness and Budget Balance in Computational Social Choice
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-23)In this thesis, we examine stochastic techniques for overcoming game theoretic and computational issues in the collective decision making process of self-interested individuals. In particular, we examine truthful, stochastic ...
