ANR Verso ECOSCELLS (11/2009–10/2012)
Participants : Eitan Altman, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Philippe Nain.
Anr Verso Ecoscells (Efficient Cooperating Small Cells) aims at developing algorithms and solutions which will be required for the deployment of small cell networks. The theoretical studies will define and solve the models needed to understand the behavior of radio channels, and will design the algorithms which will allow the exploitation of the diversity (user, spatial, interference, etc.) in these networks. The consortium gathers two main industrial groups in the telecommunication domain (Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs (leader) and Orange Labs), together with three leading SMEs (3Roam , Sequans and Siradel ) and six academic partners (Univ. of Avignon, Inria through its project-teams Maestro , Mascotte and Swing , Institut Eurecom , Laas-Cnrs and Laboratoire des Signaux et Systèmes/Supelec ).

Inria Cooperative Research Initiative (ARC) OCOQS (2011-2012)
Participant : Alain Jean-Marie.
The finishing Arc Ocoqs (Optimal threshold policies in COntrolled Queuing Systems) was devoted to the structural analysis of Markov Decision Processes, with the objective to improve the set of formal techniques available to prove that optimal control policies have a particular structure (typically, threshold-type). One of the benchmarks for this project was the extension of the model solved in [27] . This project also involved A. Busic (Inria project-team Trec ), E. Hyon (LIP6 and Univ. Paris 10) and I. Vliegen (Univ. Twente).
