A Double-Auction mechanism for wireless charging networks

Abstract

Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) is a technique to charge electrical devices (EDs) remotely. In WPT, power source (Smart Wireless Charger) transmits power wirelessly, using air as the medium, to EDs. In this paper, we present an Auction mechanism to obtain the energy trading between Smart Wireless Chargers (SWCs) and EDs. In our proposed Double-Auction based charging trade mechanism, our priorities are to increase utility of the SWCs as well as increase EDs utilities. In our proposal, first we analyze the system architecture of the WPT environment and then form an optimization problem for the auction system. We then, introduce two algorithms to solve the combinatorial optimization problem such that the wireless charging system is stable and have high efficiency. We have numerically analyzed our system using python, the results show that the proposed mechanism achieve higher total utility for the whole system with satisfying budget balancing, individual rationality and truthfulness.
