Title: On The Capacity of Distributed Resource Allocation

W205 Friday April 9th from 11-12.

Host: Zhu Han

 

Abstract: A key characteristic of wireless networks is that no node in
the network has complete information about the network state. At best,
nodes have a local view of the network. As a result, they have to make
distributed decisions on their transmission and reception parameters.
How does this information asymmetry at each node impact resulting global
network capacity? In this talk, we will formulate the problem of
studying the information theoretic capacity of distributed decisions. We
will derive exact capacity for several important cases, which reveal new
protocol design principles. Finally, we will discuss the impact of new
results on design of next-generation networks.
