Modeling Dishonest Behavior in Mobile Data Gathering Over Leasing Residential Sensor Networks
Yiming Zeng, Pengzhan Zhou, Ji yin Liu, Yuanyuan Yang · 2018
This paper considers a mobile data collecting problem in a wireless sensor network with private residual sensor networks for the scenario in which the owners of residual sensor networks may perform dishonest behavior. The interaction between the wireless sensor network operator and the owners of residual sensor networks is modeled by a Stackelberg game which has a unique Stackelberg equilibrium. The influence of the Stackelberg equilibrium caused by the dishonest residual sensor networks owner are analyzed. An algorithm and a theoretical analysis are provided for the corresponding strategies of the operator and owners. Simulations are conducted to illustrate the difference of network performance compared with the game without dishonest residual owners.
