An Auction Scheme for Computing Resource Allocation in D2D-Assisted Mobile Edge Computing
Ruidong Zhang, Wenxiao Shi, Jiadong Zhang, Wei Liu · 2019
To satisfy the explosively mounting requirements of computing resources, the device-to-device (D2D) communications are integrated into the mobile edge computing (MEC) system to share the computing resources of mobile devices. However, most existing literature neglects the selfish of mobile devices. They are reluctant or even refuse to help others. Motivated by this, we propose an auction scheme for computing resource allocation (ASCRA) in D2D- assisted MEC system. The ASCRA algorithm consists of three steps which are identification confirmation, candidate selection, and matching & pricing. There are two kinds of sellers in ASCRA algorithm, where both mobile devices and edge server can share and sell their computing resources. The edge server is also the auctioneer of the system, which controls and manages the whole system. Moreover, both the resource condition and the delay condition are considered in ASCRA algorithm. Numerical results show that the system efficiency, individual rationality, budget-balanced and truthful properties are satisfied in our ASCRA algorithm.
