Resource allocation method using tug-of-war-based synchronization

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel resource allocation method for wireless communications that combines tug-of-war dynamics with nonlinear oscillator synchronization to optimize space and time resource utilization.

Contribution

It presents a new channel-allocation approach based on TOW dynamics and synchronization, revealing non-uniform phase distributions and self-organized patterns for efficient resource use.

Findings

Synchronization groups are non-uniformly distributed in phase space.

Distinct groups are separated by distances larger than their influence area.

Self-organized spatiotemporal patterns emerge for resource allocation.

Abstract

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.
