Virtual Zoom Conference

SPEAKER:

Dr. Wei Wang, Computer Science, San Diego State University

ABSTRACT:

This talk conceptualizes a new framework named Smart Media Pricing (SMP), to price the QoE rather than the binary data traffic in wireless multimedia communication services. The investigators try to establish a new dimension of price-distortion in wireless multimedia communication resource allocation, complementing traditional rate-distortion and power-distortion resource allocation approaches. The first part of this talk will chalk up a game- theoretic solution as a two-stage Stackelberg game and derive the Nash Equilibrium using a backward induction method. The second part of this talk will explore a machine learning solution leveraging economic theories and computation intelligence. The future ultimate goal is to identify possible harmonious interplay between three entities in wireless networks: Content Provider (CP), Wireless Carrier (WC), and User Equipment (UE).
