Stability of Advanced Network Architectures

This chapter introduces an advanced network topologies such as cooperative cognitive networks, dynamic internet network topologies, and data centers with mobile clouds and analyzes their stability. It discusses a number of cooperative strategies in cognitive wireless networks (WNs) that generate additional capacity. The chapter considers a cooperative communication network with queuing and uncertain channels. It addresses dynamic network control problem of optimal resource allocation over time‐slotted channels with uncertainties. The upper bound for the stability region of the cooperative communication network can be derived by considering the stability region of an Inter System Networking (InSyNet). The chapter presents an unified stability analysis for both primary service provider (PSP) and secondary SP (SSP) cognitive networks and as well as for conventional wireless networks (CWNs). It analyzes stationary (STAT) policy using the theory of Lyapunov drift, and the results are used to prove the stability of the cooperative dynamic transmission policy.
