Blockchain has been widely applied in various fields, such as finance, Internet of Things, law, etc. However, it is a challenge to apply blockchain to mobile applications, as some mobile devices cannot afford computing resources required by the mining processes. Therefore, edge computing is introduced to provide computing resources for mobile devic...

The emerging technology of mobile cloud is introduced to overcome the constraints of mobile devices. We can achieve that by offloading resource intensive applications to remote cloud-based data centers. For the remote computing solution, mobile devices (MDs) experience higher response time and delay of the network, which negatively affects the real...
Edge-cloud computing is an emerging approach in which tasks are offloaded from mobile devices to edge or cloud servers. However, Task offloading may result in increased energy consumption and delays, and the decision to offload the task is dependent on various factors such as time-varying radio channels, available computation resources, and the loc...
The combination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mobile edge computing (MEC) has become an up-and-coming technique to provide additional computing support for smart mobile devices with limited battery capacity in the wireless communication network systems. In this paper, a multi-UAV-aided MEC system is modelled where UAVs are equipped with ME...
Existing studies of mobile edge computing resource allocation strategy problem merely optimize delay and energy cost, seldom considering the benefit of edge servers. So, a two-way update strategy based on game theory (TUSGT) was proposed. TUSGT converts the task competition relationship among edge servers into a noncollaborative game issue and adop...
Users and edge servers are not fully mutually trusted in mobile edge computing (MEC), and hence blockchain can be introduced to provide trustable MEC. In blockchain-based MEC, each edge server functions as a node in both MEC and blockchain, processing users’ tasks and then uploading the task related information to the blockchain. That is, each edge...

Recent years have witnessed remarkable developments and increasingly deepened integrations between blockchain as a decentralized computing architecture and auction as an efficient resource allocation approach. Typically, blockchain can help provide a secured and trusted distributed environment for various auction scenarios, while auction is particularly suitable for designing resource allocation and pricing mechanisms in blockchain systems. As such, integrative research on blockchain and auction developed rapidly and attracted widespread attention in various fields ranging from academia to financial, industrial, and social services. However, a comprehensive survey on this interdisciplinary topic is still nonexistent, which motivates our work. In this article, we aim to fill this important research gap by reviewing the related literature. We first conducted a brief overview of blockchain technology and auction theory, and then systematically discussed the research progress on the existing blockchain research based on auction theory as well as auction research enabled by blockchain. Toward the end, we presented several open research issues and directions, aiming to provide useful guidance and reference for future research efforts.
