Tripartite matching game model in UAV-assisted covert communication network

The simultaneous use of multiple devices for covert communication with the assistance of UAVs can easily lead to device matching errors, resulting in information leakage and resource wastage. To address this issue, we propose a tripartite matching game model in UAV-assisted covert communication network (T-UCN). The model incorporates the reverse VCG auction and second-price sealed auction algorithms while considering computational efficiency, Nash equilibrium, and Individual rationality. Finally, simulation verifies the effectiveness and robustness of the algorithms we propose in T-UCN.
