4.10 An Ascending-bid Auction Algorithm for GEK<br />
Allocation<br />
Unlike the previous section, the objective of the GEK assignment algorithm in this section<br />
is a fair competition among sink nodes. We assume that the source node is an auctioneer<br />
<strong>and</strong> the sinks are participants who bid for the rights to choose GEK allocation. Since we<br />
will not give a monopoly to any single sink node, the allocation problem is formulated as<br />
a multiple-item auction. For this kind of auction, the dynamic counterpart of Vickrey’s<br />
effective static design [80] has been proposed since 2004 by Ausubel [39], whose idea will<br />
be used in our auction as follows. The source node calls a price, bidders respond with
