Resource allocation method using tug-of-war-based synchronization
This addresses resource allocation in wireless communications, but appears incremental as it builds on existing synchronization concepts.
The paper tackled the problem of efficiently allocating space and time resources in wireless communications by proposing a channel-allocation method based on tug-of-war dynamics and nonlinear oscillator synchronization, resulting in the formation of self-organized spatiotemporal patterns for resource allocation according to channel rewards.
We propose a simple channel-allocation method based on tug-of-war (TOW) dynamics, combined with the time scheduling based on nonlinear oscillator synchronization to efficiently use of the space (channel) and time resources in wireless communications. This study demonstrates that synchronization groups, where each node selects a different channel, are non-uniformly distributed in phase space such that every distance between groups is larger than the area of influence. New type of self-organized spatiotemporal patterns can be formed for resource allocation according to channel rewards.
