Optimisation of network resources with zonal auctions
by Igor V. Konnov
International Journal of Knowledge Engineering and Soft Data Paradigms (IJKESDP), Vol. 4, No. 4, 2014

Abstract: We first consider a general problem of optimal allocation of a homogeneous resource (bandwidth) in a spatially distributed system (communication network), which is divided into zones (clusters) and each zone provides an auction for allocation of this resource. This approach leads to a two-objective optimisation problem, which involves non-differentiable functions whose values are computed algorithmically. We suggest a decomposition algorithm to find a solution. We describe an adjustment of this approach to bandwidth sharing in wireless communication networks. This method can serve as a basis for creating a decision making system for network managers and users of different levels.
