Combinatorial double auction for multi-resource trading in IoT applications
摘要
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has opened new roads for collaborative distributed applications, particularly in smart city environments, where a variety of resources, including sensing, actuation, computation, and storage, are essential for providing effective location-based services. This paper specifically focuses on the sharing of heterogeneous resources among IoT applications in smart cities. By leveraging game-theoretic principles, this study addresses resource allocation through a combinatorial double auction. The solution is rooted in the concept of Social IoT (SIoT), where Internet-connected objects create dynamic social networks based on rules set by their owners. Social relationships, such as ownership and co-location, are leveraged to form groups offering enhanced reliability resource bundles. The proposed solution offers several key economic properties, including incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and a balanced budget, while maintaining low computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed combinatorial double auction mechanism achieves over
