In crowdsourcing, a group of common people is asked to execute the tasks and in return will receive some incentives. In this article, one of the crowdsourcing scenarios with multiple heterogeneous tasks and multiple IoT devices (as task…

Crowdsourced wireless community network enables individual users to share their private Wi-Fi access points (APs) with each other, hence can achieve a large Wi-Fi coverage with a small deployment cost via crowdsourcing. This paper presents…

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…

Typically the cost of a product, a good or a service has many components. Those components come from different complex steps in the supply chain of the product from sourcing to distribution. This economic point of view also takes place in…

This paper analyzes the pricing of transit traffic in wireless peer-to-peer networks using the concepts of direct and indirect network externalities. We first establish that without any pricing mechanism, congestion externalities overwhelm…

Crowdsourced wireless community networks can effectively alleviate the limited coverage issue of Wi-Fi access points (APs), by encouraging individuals (users) to share their private residential Wi-Fi APs with others. In this paper, we…

We propose a Novel Fairness-Aware framework for Crowdsourcing Energy Services (FACES) to efficiently provision crowdsourced IoT energy services. Typically, efficient resource provisioning might incur an unfair resource sharing for some…

This paper analyzes two pricing schemes commonly used in WiFi markets: the flat-rate and the usage-based pricing. The flat-rate pricing encourages the maximum usage, while the usage-based pricing can flexibly attract more users especially…

Internet of things (IoT) produces massive data from devices embedded with sensors. The IoT data allows creating profitable services using machine learning. However, previous research does not address the problem of optimal pricing and…

We propose a novel service-based ecosystem to crowdsource wireless energy to charge IoT devices. We leverage the service paradigm to abstract wireless energy crowdsourcing from nearby IoT devices as energy services. The proposed energy…

We propose a novel incentive-based framework for composing energy service requests. An incentive model is designed that considers the context of the providers and consumers to determine rewards for sharing wireless energy. We propose a…

ISPs are increasingly selling "tiered" contracts, which offer Internet connectivity to wholesale customers in bundles, at rates based on the cost of the links that the traffic in the bundle is traversing. Although providers have already…

Crowdsourcing with the intelligent agents carrying smart devices is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. It has opened up meeting an extensive list of real life applications such as measuring air pollution level, road traffic…

After upgrading to 5G, a network operator still faces congestion when providing the ubiquitous wireless service to the crowd. To meet users' ever-increasing demand, some other operators (e.g., Fon) have been developing another crowdsourced…

Technology advancements on sensing, communications, and computing directly accelerate the recent development of Internet of Things (IoT), leading to rich and diverse applications in industry and business processes. For enabling IoT…

We propose a novel self-sustained ecosystem for energy sharing in the IoT environment. We leverage energy harvesting, wireless power transfer, and crowdsourcing that facilitate the development of an energy crowdsharing framework to charge…

An important aspect of the Future Internet is the efficient utilization of (wireless) network resources. In order for the - demanding in terms of QoS - Future Internet services to be provided, the current trend is evolving towards an…

In the current intensively changing technological environment, wireless network operators try to manage the increase of global traffic, optimizing the use of the available resources. This involves associating each user to one of its…

Owing to the recent advancements of meta-materials and meta-surfaces, the concept of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been embraced to meet the spectral- and energy-efficient, and yet cost-effective solutions for the…

Mobile Collaborative Internet Access (MCA) enables mobile users to share their Internet through flexible tethering arrangements. This can potentially make better use of network resources. However, from a mobile network operator's (MNO's)…
