摘      要：To efficiently utilize the limited computational resource in real-time sensor networks, this paper focuses on the challenge of computational resource allocation in sensor networks and provides a solution with the method of economics. It designs a microeconomic system in which the applications distribute their computational resource consumption across sensor networks by virtue of mobile agent. Further, it proposes the market-based computational resource allocation policy named MCRA which satisfies the uniform consumption of computational energy in network and the optimal division of the single computational capacity for multiple tasks. The simulation in the scenario of target tracing demonstrates that MCRA realizes an efficient allocation of computational resources according to the priority of tasks, achieves the superior allocation performance and equilibrium performance compared to traditional allocation policies, and ultimately prolongs the system lifetime.
