Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) assisted wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a key component of the Internet of Things (IoT), comprise high mobility data collection device and numerous sensor nodes (SNs) that possess capabilities in sensing, computation, and wireless communication. However, UAV assisted WSN is limited by finite battery energy resources, which can result in substantial resource waste and increased energy consumption due to incorrect matching after multiple UAVs deployments. To resolve this matter, this paper proposes a tripartite matching game model for resource allocation in multi-UAV assisted WSNs (TGRUW) under asymmetric information. Specifically, the TGRUW combines the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves-based reverse (Reverse VCG) auction and the Second-price sealed auction (SPSA) algorithm, which can be used to deal with false information in the process of communication device matching and reduce energy consumption in device matching and communication, while considering computational efficiency, Nash equilibrium, and individual rationality. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve significant energy saving compared with random sampling-based method (RSBM), low cost preferred method (LCPM) and high valuation preferred method (HVPM).
