Abstract
The technology relates to allocating the resource costs of a sensor network. In particular, an auction model is used to control the demand-side of sensor network utilization. Users bid for fractional sensor network utilization over particular variables such as time, geography, and data type. During the bidding process, the available sensor network resources may be unknown. Therefore, users bid on the predicted fractional sensor network utilization, which can be estimated using historical sensor network trends and models. Throughout this process, device performance is preserved while providing for user experience, privacy, and security.
