Distributed coordination of self-organizing mechanisms in communication networks
Abdoulaye Tall, Richard Combes, Zwi Altman +1
The fast development of the Self-Organizing Network (SON) technology in mobile networks renders the problem of coordinating SON functionalities operating simultaneously critical. S…
Mixed Polling with Rerouting and Applications
Veeraruna Kavitha, Richard Combes
Queueing systems with a single server in which customers wait to be served at a finite number of distinct locations (buffers/queues) are called discrete polling systems. Polling sy…
Flow-level performance of random wireless networks
Richard Combes, Eitan Altman
We study the flow-level performance of random wireless networks. The locations of base stations (BSs) follow a Poisson point process. The number and positions of active users are d…
Optimal Rate Sampling in 802.11 Systems
Richard Combes, Alexandre Proutiere, Donggyu Yun +2
In 802.11 systems, Rate Adaptation (RA) is a fundamental mechanism allowing transmitters to adapt the coding and modulation scheme as well as the MIMO transmission mode to the radi…
The association problem in wireless networks: a Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning approach
Richard Combes, Ilham El Bouloumi, Stephane Senecal +1
The purpose of this paper is to develop a self-optimized association algorithm based on PGRL (Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning), which is both scalable, stable and robust. Th…
