Abstract— Many problems associated with networked systems can be formulated as network utility maximization (NUM) problems. NUM problems maximize a global separable measure of ne...
A new means of action selection via utility fusion is introduced as an alternative to both sensor fusion and command fusion. Distributed asynchronous behaviors indicate the utility...
Most existing work uses dual decomposition and subgradient methods to solve Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problems in a distributed manner, which suffer from slow rate of con...
— There has been much recent interest in protocol design for wireless networks based on maximizing a network utility function. A significant advance in recent years is the obser...
—It is well known that max-weight policies based on a queue backlog index can be used to stabilize stochastic networks, and that similar stability results hold if a delay index i...
