Abstract-Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are set to be the defining trend in road transportation for the 21st century. Unfortunately, the process of charging a large number of PHEVs will put a prohibitive amount of stress on conventional power grids. As per current estimates, it will not be possible to satisfy the peak demand of charging millions of PHEVs with current infrastructure. Additionally, to ensure stability of the power grid, the demand needs to be closely matched with supply all the time. This is difficult to ensure in a dynamic scenario like PHEV charging, where it is not possible to predict the load in the future. This problem is further complicated by the introduction of intermittent sources of alternate energy like wind power. This paper proposes an IT infrastructure for managing energy usage of PHEVs. The paper introduces a generalized currency of energy called a token, which entitles its owner to produce or consume a certain amount of electrical energy. Furthermore, the paper propose an IT infrastructure to manage tokens produced by millions of PHEVs and power stations. Simulation results for the system that consider the behavior of millions of PHEVs using data in prior work and traces from the Australian power grid for the last five years are also presented.

“…SPCs share some amount of bandwidth with SRCs. We assume that there exists a Token Based Accounting Protocol to exchange services between SRCs and SPCs against tokens [3]. On one hand, the paradigm for spectrum sharing should guarantee a certain access speed and a data transmission speed.…”

“…Now, we will present the Algorithm A dist . In [3], it has been proved that if the considered game has at least one pure Nash equilibrium and if there exists a sufficiently small value of the learning speed parameter for which the distributed learning algorithm converges, then the point of convergence of this algorithm is a pure Nash equilibrium. We say that this algorithm weakly converges to a Nash equilibrium.…”

In wireless access network optimization, today's main challenges reside in traffic offload and in the improvement of both capacity and coverage networks. The operators are interested in solving their localized coverage and capacity problems in areas where the macro network signal is not able to serve the demand for mobile data. Thus, the major issue for operators is to find the best solution at reasonable expanses. The femto cell seems to be the answer to this problematic. In this work 1 , we focus on the problem of sharing femto access between a same mobile operator's customers. This problem can be modeled as a game where service requesters customers (SRCs) and service providers customers (SPCs) are the players.This work addresses the sharing femto access problem considering only one SPC using game theory tools. We consider that SRCs are static and have some similar and regular connection behavior. We also note that the SPC and each SRC have a software embedded respectively on its femto access, user equipment (UE).After each connection requested by a SRC, its software will learn the strategy increasing its gain knowing that no information about the other SRCs strategies is given. The following article presents a distributed learning algorithm with incomplete information running in SRCs software. We will then answer the following questions for a game with N SRCs and one SPC: how many connections are necessary for each SRC in order to learn the strategy maximizing its gain? Does this algorithm converge to a stable state? If yes, does this state a Nash Equilibrium and is there any way to optimize the learning process duration time triggered by SRCs software?

“…For the first problem several solutions have been proposed in the past, such as using accounting mechanisms, micro-payment, or reputationbased schemes [7], [9], [16], [18]. However, the second problem appears to be more complicated to deal with, as this type of selfish behavior is generally much harder to detect.…”

P2P networks are becoming increasingly popular for a wide variety of applications going beyond pure file sharing. However, a commercial use of P2P technology is currently not possible as efficient and reliable market mechanisms are missing. This paper presents PeerMart, a distributed technology in support of a market for trading P2P services. PeerMart combines the economic efficiency of double auctions with the technical efficiency and resilience of structured P2P networks. The system is implemented on top of a redundant P2P infrastructure and is being evaluated with respect to scalability, efficiency, and reliability.
