Abstract

Recently, it has been proven that network coding has a great potential to improve the throughput and robustness in wireless networks by exploit the broadcast nature of the wireless medium. In this paper, we propose Generalized VCG auction mechanism with network coding. Our proposed mechanism is effective for allocating bandwidth to each users in wireless networks so as to maximize the social surplus. In the auction, we allow users to specify theirs willing price per bandwidth unit and amount of request bandwidth. We evaluate the performance of our proposed auction mechanism with simulation. In numerical examples, we show the effectiveness of bandwidth allocation with auction mechanism and effectiveness of network coding.
