In this paper, we propose a general cross-layer optimization framework in which we explicitly consider both the heterogeneous and dynamically changing characteristics of delay-sensitive applications and the underlying time-varying network conditions. We consider both the independently decodable data units (DUs, e.g. packets) and the interdependent DUs whose dependencies are captured by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). We first formulate the cross-layer design as a non-linear constrained optimization problem by assuming complete knowledge of the application characteristics and the underlying network conditions. The constrained cross-layer optimization is decomposed into several cross-layer optimization subproblems for each DU and two master problems. The proposed decomposition method determines the necessary message exchanges between layers for achieving the optimal cross-layer solution. However, the attributes (e.g. distortion impact, delay deadline etc) of future DUs as well as the network conditions are often unknown in the considered real-time applications. The impact of current cross-layer actions on the future DUs can be characterized by a state-value function in the Markov decision process (MDP) framework. Based on the dynamic programming solution to the MDP, we develop a low-complexity cross-layer optimization algorithm using online learning for each DU transmission. This online algorithm can be implemented in real-time in order to cope with unknown source characteristics, network dynamics and resource constraints. Our numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed online algorithm.
In this paper, we propose a systematic solution to the problem of cross-layer optimization for delay-sensitive media transmission over time-varying wireless channels as well as investigate the structures and properties of this solution, such that it
Cross-layer optimization solutions have been proposed in recent years to improve the performance of network users operating in a time-varying, error-prone wireless environment. However, these solutions often rely on ad-hoc optimization approaches, wh
In spite of maturity to the modern electronic design automation (EDA) tools, optimized designs at architectural stage may become sub-optimal after going through physical design flow. Adder design has been such a long studied fundamental problem in VL
Topology optimization by optimally distributing materials in a given domain requires gradient-free optimizers to solve highly complicated problems. However, with hundreds of design variables or more involved, solving such problems would require milli
