Real-time Optimal Resource Allocation for Embedded UAV Communication Systems
We consider device-to-device (D2D) wireless information and power transfer
systems using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a relay-assisted node. As the
energy capacity and flight time of UAVs is limited, a significant issue in
deploying UAV is to manage energy consumption in real-time application, which
is proportional to the UAV transmit power. To tackle this important issue, we
develop a real-time resource allocation algorithm for maximizing the energy
efficiency by jointly optimizing the energy-harvesting time and power control
for the considered (D2D) communication embedded with UAV. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithms as running time for solving them can
be conducted in milliseconds.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 1 table. This paper is accepted for publication

Chain: A Dynamic Double Auction Framework for Matching Patient Agents
In this paper we present and evaluate a general framework for the design of
truthful auctions for matching agents in a dynamic, two-sided market. A single
commodity, such as a resource or a task, is bought and sold by multiple buyers
and sellers that arrive and depart over time. Our algorithm, Chain, provides
the first framework that allows a truthful dynamic double auction (DA) to be
constructed from a truthful, single-period (i.e. static) double-auction rule.
The pricing and matching method of the Chain construction is unique amongst
dynamic-auction rules that adopt the same building block. We examine
experimentally the allocative efficiency of Chain when instantiated on various
single-period rules, including the canonical McAfee double-auction rule. For a
baseline we also consider non-truthful double auctions populated with
zero-intelligence plus"-style learning agents. Chain-based auctions perform
well in comparison with other schemes, especially as arrival intensity falls
and agent valuations become more volatile
