Mechanism design for crowd sensing with data reuse based on two-sided auction by Changkun JIANG, Lin GAO

“…Crowd sensing is a promising sensing paradigm,which mainly uses a variety of embedded sensors in a large number of mobile devices to accomplish data sensing tasks.One of the key issues in crowd sensing is how to effectively coordinate mobile device users to perform multiple sensory tasks simultaneously.By introducing a new data layer between the sensing task and the user,the similarity of the sensing task and the heterogeneity of the user were effectively utilized,and the joint task selection and user scheduling problems were established on the data layer,aiming at maximizing the social welfare of the whole system.This problem was difficult to solve due to its combinatorial nature and the presence of private information on both the sensing tasks and the users.In order to deal with these problems,a two-sided randomized auction mechanism was proposed,and it was proved that it can satisfy the desirable properties of the computational efficiency,the individual rationality,and the incentive compatibility in expectation.The simulation results show that the proposed stochastic auction mechanism can achieve nearly optimal social welfare,and the social welfare benefits brought by data reuse will increase significantly with the enhancement of task similarity.…”

RIS-assisted terahertz frequency band vehicle network capacity optimization by Fatang CHEN, Xiaoling LIU, Dan WANG, Ruofan ZHANG

“…In order to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitation of the current wireless system, the terahertz frequency band was introduced and the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) was used for auxiliary communication to construct a downlink vehicle network.Considering the constraints of limited total system power, QoS constraints of cellular mobile users, and randomness constraints of vehicle and user locations, a hybrid optimization model was established for optimal power allocation and optimal deployment of RIS with the aim of maximizing the total rate of vehicle users.Based on the balance method, linear transformation method, and element elimination method, the original NP-hard problem was transformed into a convex optimization problem with complex correlation constraints and multivariate coupling.The inner layer iteration was based on the Lagrange multiplier method to solve the optimal power allocation, and the outer layer iteratively solved the optimal deployment of RIS based on a improved genetic algorithm.The simulation results show that rationally deploying the number and distribution density of RIS nodes based on optimal power allocation can save costs while achieving a higher target total capacity.…”

Multi-group target tracking method based on adaptive predictive clustering in WSN by Shumu LIU, Jian YANG, Yuansong LI

“…Aiming at the imbalance between energy using and tracking accuracy in multi-sensor target tracking,a method of trade-off network lifetime and accuracy was proposed.It was a multi-group target tracking method based on adaptive predictive clustering (APCMT),realizing the simultaneous tracking of multiple groups.Firstly,cluster was realized,which was to capture the changes of group behavior attributes,such as forming,mergering and spliting.Then,sensors were selected,which were expected to contribute to the group area sensor activation,and the sensors were used for group tracking.Scene simulation was in a square area of 1 000 m ×1 000 m with 500 randomly deployed sensors.The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the simulation results.Compared with Kalman,energy-effective node selection (EENS) method and the improved dynamic cluster (IDC) method,the tracking precision of proposed method was higher.And because of the number of activate sensors was less,the computational time was less,the network lifetime had been improved significantly.…”
