Mobile crowdsourcing, as an emerging service paradigm, enables the computing resource requestor (CRR) to outsource computation tasks to each computing resource provider (CRP). Considering the importance of pricing as an essential incentive to coordinate the real-time interaction among the CRR and CRPs, in this paper, we propose an optimal real-time pricing strategy for computing resource management in mobile crowdsourcing. Firstly, we analytically model the CRR and CRPs behaviors in form of carefully selected utility and cost functions, based on concepts from microeconomics. Secondly, we propose a distributed algorithm through the exchange of control messages, which contain the information of computing resource demand/supply and real-time prices. We show that there exist real-time prices that can align individual optimality with systematic optimality. Finally, we also take account of the interaction among CRPs and formulate the computing resource management as a game with Nash equilibrium achievable via best response. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed distributed algorithm can potentially benefit both the CRR and CRPs. The coordinator in mobile crowdsourcing can thus use the optimal real-time pricing strategy to manage computing resources towards the benefit of the overall system.

To tackle the issue in deep crowd sensing, a Time and Location Correlation Incentive (TLCI) scheme is proposed for deep data gathering in crowdsourcing networks. In TLCI scheme, a metric named "Quality of Information Satisfaction Degree" (QoISD) is to quantify how much collected sensing data can satisfy the application's QoI requirements mainly in terms of data quantity and data coverage. Two incentive algorithms are proposed to satisfy QoISD with different view. The first algorithm is to ensure that the application gets the specified sensing data to maximize the QoISD. Thus, in the first incentive algorithm, the reward for data sensing is to maximize the QoISD. The second algorithm is to minimize the cost of the system while meeting the sensing data requirement and maximizing the QoISD. Thus, in the second incentive algorithm, the reward for data sensing is to maximize the QoISD per unit of reward. Finally, we compare our proposed scheme with existing schemes via extensive simulations. Extensive simulation results well justify the effectiveness of our scheme. The QoISD can be optimized by 81.92%, and the total cost can be reduced by 31.38%.

“…With the prosperous development of mobile communication and versatile mobile devices [1,2] and the diversification of the network environment [3][4][5], the requirement of accessing ubiquitous network becomes more and more imperative for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) [6]. Owing to the advantages of low cost, expansible, self-healing, fine mobility support, and high efficiency, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is regarded as a critical accessing technology of the next generation CPS network [7,8].…”

Access security and privacy have become a bottleneck for the popularization of future Cyber-Physical System (CPS) networks. Furthermore, users' need for privacy-preserved access during movement procedure is more urgent. To address the anonymous access authentication issue for CPS Wireless Mesh Network (CPS-WMN), a novel anonymous access authentication scheme based on proxy ring signature is proposed. A hierarchical authentication architecture is presented first. The scheme is then achieved from the aspect of intergroup and intragroup anonymous mutual authentication through proxy ring signature mechanism and certificateless signature mechanism, respectively. We present a formal security proof of the proposed protocol with SVO logic. The simulation and performance analysis demonstrate that the proposed scheme owns higher efficiency and adaptability than the typical one.
