Download or read book Resource Allocation in Multi-user Communication Systems written by Jennifer Elizabeth Price and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions of this research lie in four main areas: (i) distributed and adaptive rate assignments for CDMA 1xEVDO-type systems, (ii) cross-layer optimal rate assignments for hybrid wired/wireless CDMA networks, (iii) leveraging downlink for socially optimal and incentive compatible uplink rate allocation in cellular networks, and (iv) capacity-achieving rate assignments in unicast networks that employ network coding. In each of these problems, I address issues related to modeling, analysis, implementation, and validation.
