Stochastic Optimization for Emerging Wireless Networking Paradigms with Imperfect Network State Information

Abstract

In wireless networks, network state information (NSI) usually consists of channel state information (CSI) and queuing state information (QSI). NSI, especially CSI, has been widely used in designs and configurations of wireless networks. However, most of the existing works assume that NSI is perfectly available at the decision making entities in the network. In general such assumption is not practical because First of all, I would like to gratefully thank my supervisor, Prof. F. Richard Yu, for his invaluable support and wonderful supervision. His technical insight and ongoing encouragement have been a constant source of motivation. The innumerable discussions with him and his ideas on the research projects have been the most dispensable input for my research. His comments and suggestions on my works not only increase the quality of the research but also provide a source of thought for my career.
