Communication refinement using joint mixed integer programming and linear programming

A method of defining communication parameters by a device, comprising:

• obtaining input information relating to a communication source and a set of communication targets;
• generating a target function that indicates a set of constraints to be satisfied by a set of communication parameters;
• dividing the set of communication targets into a plurality of groups of communication targets based on a predictive model configured to predict a behavior of the set of communication targets;
• generating, in accordance with the target function, the set of communication parameters for communications from the communication source to the set of communication targets, the generating including:
• performing a linear programming operation to generate one or more first communication parameters of the set of communication parameters based on the set of constraints, and
• performing a mixed-integer programming operation to generate one or more second communication parameters of the set of communication parameters based on the set of constraints,
• wherein the set of communication parameters is based on the predictive model, and wherein the set of communication parameters is based on the plurality of groups of communication targets;
• and
• providing the set of communication parameters.

A processing system, comprising:

• one or more memories comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the processing system to:
• obtain input information relating to a communication source and a set of communication targets;
• generate, in accordance with a target function that indicates a set of constraints to be satisfied by a set of communication parameters, the set of communication parameters for communications from the communication source to the set of communication targets, the generating including:
• performing a linear programming operation to generate one or more first communication parameters of the set of communication parameters based on the set of constraints, and
• performing a mixed-integer programming operation to generate one or more second communication parameters of the set of communication parameters based on the set of constraints,
• wherein the set of communication parameters is based on a predictive model configured to predict a behavior of the set of communication targets;
• and
• provide the set of communication parameters.
