Asymptotic shapley value based resource allocation scheme for IoT services

摘要

Inspired by the development of new communication technologies, society has shifted its focus from the original network connection services to pervasive information services. With this shift, the Internet of Things (IoT) has developed rapidly. To realize IoT services, spectrum resources should be allocated adaptively to ensure service requirements. In this paper, we propose a novel solution that addresses the resource allocation problem by adopting cooperative game values. In our game model, the concept of the Shapley value is extended and practically applied to design a new bandwidth allocation algorithm. Numerical results show that our proposed approach can guarantee performance balance while improving the overall system resource utilization, as compared with the existing schemes that also address the resource allocation problem. Under dynamic IoT system environments, this result proves the efficiency of our approach for multimedia traffic services. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
