Outperformed conventional independent revenue maximization approaches.
Abstract
In this paper, we study the problem of resource allocation as well as pricing in the context of Internet of things (IoT) networks. We provide a novel pricing model for IoT services where all the parties involved in the communication scenario as well as their revenue and cost are determined. We formulate the resource allocation in the considered model as a multi-objective optimization problem where in addition to the resource allocation variables, the price values are also optimization variables. To solve the proposed multi-objective optimization problem, we use the scalarization method which gives different Pareto optimal solutions. We solve the resulting problems using the alternating approach based on the successive convex approximation (SCA) method which converges to a local solution with few iterations. We also consider a conventional approach where each entity tries to maximize its…
