Resource Allocation in Wireless Powered IoT System: A Mean Field Stackelberg Game-Based Approach

Abstract

The IoT system has become a significant component of next generation networks, and drawn a lot of research interest in academia and industry. As the sensor nodes in the IoT system are always battery-limited devices, the power control problem is a serious problem in the IoT system which needs to be solved. In this paper, we research the resource allocation in the wireless powered IoT system, which includes one hybrid access point (HAP) and many wireless sensor nodes, to obtain the optimal power level for information transmission and energy transfer simultaneously. The relationship between the HAP and the sensor nodes are formulated as the Stackelberg game, and the dynamic variations of the energy for both the HAP and IoT devices are formulated through the dynamic game with mean field control. Then the power control in the wireless powered IoT system is formulated as a mean field Stackelberg game model. We aim to minimize the transmission cost for each sensor node based on optimally power resource allocation. Meanwhile, we attempt to minimize the energy transfer cost based on power control. As a result, the optimal solutions based on the mean field control of the sensor nodes and the HAP are achieved through dynamic programming theory and the law of large numbers, and ε-Nash equilibriums can be obtained. The energy variations for both the sensor nodes and HAP after the control of resource allocation based on the proposed approach are verified based on the simulation results.

Effects of the Application of WebQuest to Technology Education on Business Management Students’ Critical Thinking Psychology and Operation Capability

“…H1: WebQuest would affect critical thinking psychology. Su et al (2018) indicated that teachers were simply the coadjutants in WebQuest to provide necessary guides and prompts, without giving lectures or directly delivering knowledge. It aimed that learners could gradually accumulate rich knowledge in the self-search and problem-solving process; and, the main characters on the learning stage were undertaken by learners through team discussion.…”

PSO-based Resource Allocation in Software-Defined Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

“…Therefore, we combine an SDN with a heterogeneous cellular network and propose an SDN-based wireless network architecture in this article. The proposed SDN-based wireless network architecture can also be applied in other wireless network scenarios to offload the burden on the network, such as a wireless sensor network [22], a satellite communication network [23] and the internet of thing (IoT) system [24]. Since energy efficiency has become an increasingly important issue in wireless communication, the optimization problem in this paper is modeled to maximize the system energy efficiency.…”

Energy Efficient Resource Allocation for M2M Devices in 5G

“…The SEIRA [7] algorithm uses a metaheuristic technique for assigning resources to devices and claims to lower the communication cost. A resource allocation algorithm [8] is proposed for the wireless powered network. This algorithm implies the Markov Decision Process (MDP) and power allocation technique to maximize the throughput, whereas heterogeneous resource allocation [9] implements a service-to-interface to fulfill the service requirements while reducing the average cost of communication.…”
