“…Simulation results show that the proposed protocol reaches high content persistence without suffering substantial network and storage overheads. In [13], Cui et al proposed an evolutionary game theory based framework to analyze the effect of resource allocation mechanisms on peers' contribution behaviors such as donors. The authors have analyzed and found that allocation mechanisms can encourage contribution behaviors of peers when the benefit of resources is larger than specific thresholds.…”

With the growing popularity of social network and video sharing services, video sharing behaviors have become increasingly socializing. People can produce and share high-quality videos at any time and place using high-speed mobile networks and multimedia IoT devices, e.g., Android Things and smart TV Boxes. The multimedia IoT devices require higher bandwidth, memory, and computing resources to process and transmit multimedia contents such as audio, video, and image. In this paper, we propose a social-aware P2P video transmission strategy for multimedia IoT devices. In the proposed architecture, multimedia IoT devices are communicated using a peer-to-peer network. The peers in our work are represented by multimedia IoT devices with user interactions. Since users have their own friend list, the social links can be classified into different priority classes in accordance with their social relationships, e. g., family, friends, and others. The proposed strategy adopts weighted fair queue (WFQ) for P2P video transmission according to different queuing priority classes. Each priority class is given a weighted factor according to social relationship, current download progress, and mutual resource sharing contributions. By leveraging the inherent trust associated with social links, the proposed strategy can reduce the impact of free riders and give users good video sharing and watching experiences with multimedia IoT devices.INDEX TERMS Multimedia IoT, P2P network, social network, video streaming.

In social networks, resource sharing behaviors always take place in groups of individuals and rely on voluntary cooperation. In this work, first, a multi-player donor recipient game in which strategies describe individuals’ varying degrees of willingness to share resources is formulated, instead of using the limited binary decisions (e.g. share or not share) in a classical donor-recipient game. Second, the evolutionary dynamics of individual strategies are explored under the influence of two contribution-based resource allocation mechanisms: the total contribution-based allocation mechanism (TCAM) and the direct contribution-based allocation mechanism (DCAM). The results indicate that the network is dominated by the full-cooperation strategy when the cost-to-benefit ratio of resources is not too large and the DCAM is more effective than TCAM. Furthermore, the underlying reason why some strategies with higher sharing willingness can coexist in specific situations, is also explained in detail by leveraging macroscopic and microscopic perspective analysis. Finally, the influences of slandering and whitewashing behaviors conducted by a few malicious individuals on the allocation mechanisms are also studied. Current research will offer new insights into understanding the influence and optimizing the resource allocation policies in social networks.
