In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) clustering routing algorithm, sensors energy consumption imbalance will result in "energy hole" phenomenon, and it will affect the network lifetime. For this problem, an energy-balanced unequal clustering routing protocol based on game theory named GBUC was put forward. In clustering stage, WSNs were divided into clusters of different sizes, the cluster radius was determined by the distance from cluster head to sink node and the residual energy. By adjusting the cluster head in the energy consumption of communication within the cluster and forwarding data to achieve energy balance. In inter-cluster communication phase, a game model was established by using the residual energy efficiency and link reliability as the benefit functions, using its Nash equilibrium solution to get joint energy balancing, optimal transmission path of link reliability, thereby improving network performance. The simulation results show that, compared with Energy-Efficient Uneven Clustering (EEUC) algorithm and Unequal Clustering Energy-Economical Routing (UCEER) algorithm, the GBUC algorithm has significantly improved the performance in balancing node energy consumption and prolonging the network lifetime.
In the real-time large data applications of Peer-to-Peer (P2P), to avoid free-riding behavior in the Video on Demand (VOD) system, a new incentive scheme of auction algorithm based on the discriminatory second price was proposed. The nodes obtained the video data block they needed using distributed dynamic auction between nodes. In auction, the bidding node firstly determined whether the budget was enough to bid based on discrimination rule, and set the upload bandwidth according to the number of bidding nodes. Secondly, the winner node was determined by the bid price. Finally, the bidding node paid the auction node according to the second highest price after it got the data block as its income. Analysis of the revenue of nodes, the bandwidth utilization and the proportion of selfless or selfish nodes indicate that the proposed scheme can effectively motivate nodes to take active part in sharing of video data blocks, and make efficient use of the upload bandwidth at the same time.
