With the powerful sensing, computing capabilities of mobile devices, large-scale users with smart devices throughout the city would be the perfect carrier for the people-centric scheme, namely, mobile crowdsensing. Mobile crowdsensing has become a versatile platform for many Internet of things applications in urban scenarios. So how to select the appropriate users to complete the tasks and ensure the quality of the tasks has been a huge challenge for mobile crowdsensing. In this article, we propose a willingness-aware user recruitment strategy based on the task attributes to solve this problem. First, we divide the whole sensing region based on task attributes by a weighted Voronoi diagram and conduct the assessment about the sub-regions according to several parameters, and then categorize sub-regions as hot regions and blank regions. Moreover, we analyze the influence of user willingness on user recruitment and the task completion rate and assess the coverage ability of the users. Finally, we use the greedy method to optimize the user recruitment for each task to select the most suitable users for the tasks. Simulation results show that the willingness-aware user recruitment approach can significantly improve the task completion rate and achieve higher task coverage quality compared with other algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
