内容:
The dramatic growth in world-wide demand for communication services has highlighted the need for efficient and economically viable resource allocation strategies within communication networks. In recent years, a mathematical theory has emerged to provide a framework within which resource allocation problems can be properly analyzed. This framework is based on the theory of optimization, with particular emphasis on distributed algorithms. In this short course, we present the fundamental theory and essential applications of this framework. We start with discussion of wired networks, where the optimization framework provides the theoretical basis for optimal routing and TCP congestion control schemes. We then move to wireless networks, where the optimization framework is expanded to solve the problems of multi-user interference and energy limitations of mobile nodes. We conclude with discussion of challenging research directions within this evolving framework.
