CONTEXT :

We consider the transport of multimodal traffic wherein a single source transmits two sub-streams, one that has lesser priority, for instance video, and one that has higher priority, for instance control. The latter has more stringent constraints in terms of delay and reliability and needs to have some dedicated resources in order to fulfill its quality of service requirements. The aim is to find the optimal allocation of resources so as to maximize the utility associated to each sub-stream. Learning can be used in order to address the case when several parameters are unknown such as the share of each type of traffic and/or their associated utilities.
