INTERFERENCE AWARE RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR UNDERLAY D2D-BASED DATA OFFLOADING IN 5G CELLULAR NETWORK

Meriame Hmila, Supervised by: Dr. Manuel Fern ndez VeigaAffiliation: Department of Telematics Engineering (University of Vigo)

Literature review and challenges definition.a) 5G cellular network, D2D communication, data offloading. b) Interference management, resource allocation, D2D communication in data offloading

Investigate cooperative offloading:a) Resource allocation b) Relay selection c) Device grouping

Use game theories and optimization techniques

Extensive simulation

IN PROGRESS

UNDERLAY D2D-BASED DATA OFFLOADING IN 5G

Our goals are: a) Increase Data rate b) Reduce energy consumption

Contributions to multilanguage information

management using Wikipedia

- Statement:

Author: Marcos Antonio Mouriño García

Advisor: Luis Anido Rifón

- Main objective:

Wikipedia concept-based document representation alleviates

the main limitations of the BoW model, thus improving the

performance of information management tasks such as

classification, information retrieval and clustering.

To validate the suitability and benefits of using a concept-

based representation of documents that uses encyclopedic

knowledge (in particular Wikipedia) to different multilanguage

information management tasks such as classification,

information retrieval and clustering.

Semantic Parsing● Extract semantic information from text.● Using deep neural networks● Needed for:

– Conversational bots:● Google Now, Siri, Cortana, etc.

– Human Computer Interaction; and more.

● Therefore: allowing computers to understand people!
