Abstract:
To introduce blockchain technology to the mobile internet and Internet of Things, offloading proof-of-work tasks to edge computing nodes is considered an effective solution. Among these solutions, pricing edge computing resources through auctions has been widely accepted as a simple and efficient method. However, in these auctions, it is difficult to identify bid-rigging behavior by users, and the lack of technical means to avoid such behavior can results in a loss of revenue for edge service providers (ESPs). In this study, we first model the optimal bid-rigging mechanism in a mobile blockchain edge computing resource auction. Then, we introduce an auction method that an ESP can use to prevent the bid-rigging strategy in resource auctions. Finally, we propose a solution for the optimal reserve price of the SA (simulated annealing) algorithm, which calculates the optimal reserve price according to bidders’ willingness to pay and the number of bid-rigging participants to improve the revenue of the ESP.
