Adaptive optimization algorithms for utility-driven resource allocation in reconfigurable multi-sensor networks

Increase of sensor resource flexibility, realization of reconfigurability and creation of network capabilities in multisensor networks makes resource allocation a new challenging research area. In this paper, a novel resource-service approach is presented for the interaction between resource allocation and the reconfigurable resources within the multi-sensor network. The resource allocation algorithm goal is to maximize the system utility by finding the optimal set of services. This optimization problem is evaluated, and finally, algorithms are proposed to find near-optimal solutions for allocating the resources.
