Abstract
Directional wireless power transfer (WPT) technology provides a promising energy solution to remotely recharge
the Internet of things sensors using directional antennas. Under
a harvest-then-transmit protocol, the access point can adaptively
allocate the transmit power among multiple energy directions to
maximize the social welfare of the sensors, i.e., downlink sum
received energy or uplink sum rate, based on full or quantized
channel gains reported from the sensors. However, such power
allocation can be challenged if each sensor belongs to a different
agent and works in a competitive way. In order to maximize their
own utilities, the sensors have the incentives to falsely report their
channel gains, which unfortunately reduces the social welfare.
To tackle this problem, we design the strategy-proof mechanisms
to ensure that each sensor’s dominant strategy is to truthfully
reveal its channel gain regardless of other sensors’ strategies.
Under the benchmark full channel gain reporting (CGR) scheme,
we adopt the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism to derive
the price functions for both downlink and uplink, where the
truthfulness is guaranteed by asking each sensor to pay the social
welfare loss of all other sensors attributable to its presence. For
the 1-bit CGR scheme, the problem is more challenging due
to the severe information asymmetry, where each sensor has
true valuation of full channel gain but may report the false
information of quantized channel gain. We prove that the classic
VCG mechanism is no longer truthful and then propose two
threshold-based price functions for both downlink and uplink,
where the truthfulness is ensured by letting each sensor pay
its own achievable utility improvement due to its participation.
The numerical results validate the truthfulness of the proposed
mechanism designs
