Does Feedback Help in Bandits with Arm Erasures?

Merve Karakas, Osama Hanna, Lin F. Yang +1

We study a distributed multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem over arm erasure channels, motivated by the increasing adoption of MAB algorithms over communication-constrained networks. I…

Learning for Bandits under Action Erasures

Osama Hanna, Merve Karakas, Lin F. Yang +1

We consider a novel multi-arm bandit (MAB) setup, where a learner needs to communicate the actions to distributed agents over erasure channels, while the rewards for the actions ar…

Contexts can be Cheap: Solving Stochastic Contextual Bandits with Linear Bandit Algorithms

Osama A. Hanna, Lin F. Yang, Christina Fragouli

In this paper, we address the stochastic contextual linear bandit problem, where a decision maker is provided a context (a random set of actions drawn from a distribution). The exp…

Random Access Schemes in Wireless Systems With Correlated User Activity

Anders Ellersgaard Kalør, Osama A. Hanna, Petar Popovski

Traditional random access schemes are designed based on the aggregate process of user activation, which is created on the basis of independent activations of the users. However, in…

Degrees of Freedom in Cached MIMO Relay Networks With Multiple Base Stations

Osama A. Hanna, Amr El-Keyi, Mohammed Nafie

The ability of physical layer relay caching to increase the degrees of freedom (DoF) of a single cell was recently illustrated. In this paper, we extend this result to the case of…
