We consider the problem of designing an online mechanism for trading divisible resources over a constrained network. In an online setting, participating agents learn about their marginal valuations gradually over time. We propose a mechanism that implements the efficient allocation of resources with a finite-time guarantee, i.e., upon stopping after $T>0$ rounds, the incentive to misreport information has a uniform bound that is $O(\frac{1}{\sqrt{T}})$. We illustrate the application of the proposed mechanism to optimize the efficiency in MHA networks, an emerging type of heterogeneous networks where users can simultaneously connect to several access technologies.
