Fair Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks

The spontaneous emergence of natural phenomena such as flies flashing, the cardiac pacemaker cells, cooperative searching for food by bees, the behavior of flocking birds, schooling of fish, ants, and termites, and frogs' calling behavior shows various synchronization. Some synchronization principals have been investigated and analyzed from this natural phenomena in order to be applied to the various wireless communication system. In this study, we herein propose the resource allocation scheme based on the frogs' calling behavior algorithm, which enable to achieve strict desynchronization among nodes in a fully connected network in a distributed manner. By mapping the phase difference of two consecutive nodes to the amount of resource allocated to a node, we can obtain distributed and fair resource allocation among nodes in a network. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves strict desynchronization (thus fair resource allocation) over all nodes in a network in a distributed manner.
