Game Theory for Mobile Location Privacy

Abstract

With the rapid growth of mobile network and infrastructures, location-related services accross multiple domains have received a great deal of attention. However, privacy is always an important problem that has a great influence on services. In order to research the attack and defence of privacy, we present the existing gametheoretic literatures for their interactions about mobile location privacy problems. We first demonstrate the necessity of game theory applied to location privacy. Then, we divide the literatures into four types according to different game players. Next, we describe the detailed content and analyse the equilibrium of privacy games. In addition, we also provide the works based on mechanism design to motive the defenders to increase the defence in various contexts. Finally, we also discuss the possible trends and challenges of the future research. Our survey provides a systematic and comprehensive understanding about location privacy preservation problems in mobile network.

An Underwater Source Location Privacy Protection Scheme Based on Game Theory in a Multi-Attacker Cooperation Scenario

“…In a related development, Wu et al proposed a game theory-based mobile location privacy protection [20], showing the necessity of game theory in solving the problem of mobile location privacy, proposed the classification of location privacy games among adversaries, data owners and collectors, and investigated and summarized the game models and equilibrium analysis in mobile location privacy. However, the authors treat service providers in mobile networks as untrustworthy, and each data owner needs to consider its own location privacy, which may lead to insufficient attention to the trust problem of service providers, and most of the privacy games are non-cooperative.…”

Research on the interconnection and rapid deployment of smart energy service platforms under multi-factor game balance

“…Paras Sitoula has studied the context-aware smart energy recommender [1]; Quanyan Zhu. Researched the game theory model and design mechanism of deception and anti-deception [2]; Xiaotong Wu researched game theory about mobile location privacy [3];Pan Li researched mixed utility functions for unexpected suggestions [4]; Xiaozhong Zhang researched interactive view recommendation [5]; Changhui Yang studied the economic benefit evaluation of distributed photovoltaic energy storage hybrid system based on dynamic load;Eren Yildiz studied the defragmentation of energy storage in battery-less sensor devices; Jiasheng Zhang studied the use of independent system operators to invest and manage stored energy as public assets; Vikas Hassija studied the energy transaction framework between solar base stations and the grid based on blockchain; But none of them use game theory to improve energy service levels and innovate energy service models.…”
