About the research centre or Inria department

The Inria Université Côte d'Azur center counts 36 research teams as well as 7 support departments. The center's staff (about 500 people including 320 Inria employees) is made up of scientists of different nationalities (250 foreigners of 50 nationalities), engineers, technicians and administrative staff. 1/3 of the staff are civil servants, the others are contractual agents. The majority of the center's research teams are located in Sophia Antipolis and Nice in the Alpes-Maritimes. Four teams are based in Montpellier and two teams are hosted in Bologna in Italy and Athens. The Center is a founding member of Université Côte d'Azur and partner of the I-site MUSE supported by the University of Montpellier.

Context

Dans le cadre d'un projet financé par l'ANR PARFAIT

L' objectif est de développer des outils théoriques pour l'allocation des ressources distribuée (correspondant aux 6 premiers mois) et s'en servir pour la communication en 5G (durant les 6 mois suivants).

.

Assignment

THe postdoc will participate in the research work, will prepare a report on the state of the art and will participate in writing advancement reports.

Main activities

English

The dynamic admission to a queue as well as dynamic routing of arrivals to queues have been studied

under various given information patterns. In this work we extend these results to

the case of various agents with possibly different information available to each of these.

We formulate these as Baysian team and game problems. We derive an optimal

team solution and the equilibrium solution for the game. The postdoc will focus on

studying heterogeneous information such as different delays or noisy channel that are available

to different agents. Mixed equilibria will be introduced

in which some fixed fraction of the arrivals are competitive and thus behave as players in a

Wardrop equilibrium and a fixed fraction arrive as atomic players in a non- cooperative game.

This will be applied then to resource allocation problems and power control problems

in 5G wireless networks

Résumé

L'admission dynamique à une file d'attente ainsi que l'acheminement dynamique

des arrivées vers les files d'attente ont été étudiés

sous divers modèles d'information ont été bien étudiés dans le passé. Dans ce travail,

nous étendons ces résultats aux

cas de plusieurs agents avec des informations éventuellement différentes disponibles

pour chacun des agents. Nous les formulons sous forme de problèmes baysiens d'équipes et de jeux.

Dans ce travail nous obtiendrons les métodes de calcul des solutions

optimals d'équipe et d'équilibre pour le jeu. Le travail portera sur

des informations hétérogènes telles que différents retards ou canaux bruités disponibles

aux différents agents. Des équilibres mixtes seront introduits

dans laquelle une fraction fixe des arrivées sont compétitives

et une fraction fixe arrivent en tant que joueurs atomiques dans un jeu non coopératif.

Cela s'appliquera ensuite aux problèmes d'allocation de ressources et

aux problèmes de contrôle de puissancedans les réseaux sans fil 5G.
