  • Resource allocation using scalable non-myopic atomic game for smart parking and other applications
    Patent number: 11250363
    Abstract: A processing device is configured to detect arrival of at least a particular user in a group of a plurality of users competing for designated resources of a system, and responsive to the detected arrival, to solve a resource allocation optimization problem that considers individualized characteristics of user resource allocation requests of respective ones of the users to obtain potential assignments of respective ones of the users to respective ones of the resources. The processing device is further configured to update one or more game model parameters based at least in part on the solution to the resource allocation optimization problem, to update a specified look-ahead function based at least in part on the one or more updated game model parameters, and to assign the particular user to a particular one of the resources based at least in part on a difference between an updated value of the look-ahead function and a previous value of the look-ahead function.
