Network Utility Maximization: A Rate-Distortion Perspective
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research(2010)
摘要
Network utility maximization (NUM) represents a vast and growing body of
literature in optimizing network operation such as throughput and fairness,
given a set of constraints. This framework has resulted in a better
understanding of optimal operation of and interaction among layers of the
protocol stack, including congestion control, routing, access and physical
layer transmission. However, traditional NUM optimization does not incorporate
lossy compression (rate-distortion) into its formulation - data is assumed
pre-compressed and packetized prior to analysis. Since rate-distortion has a
substantial impact on end-user experience (for example, in video/multimedia
delivery), this paper generalizes the traditional NUM framework to include
compression control. It develops a distributed compression control for binary
sources, and solves the coupled NUM problem in special cases to illustrate
important aspects of compression control. Finally, this paper discusses a
stochastic framework that includes compression control, and provide insights on
adaptive control of networks.
