“…How to avoid power consumption and achieve bandwidth saving based on the relationship among group members becomes a necessary and emerging issue. Lubke et al considered not only social relationships but also time and location restrictions to create a group [21]. In [21], location-based group formation links the physical and the virtual world by creating incentives to be at a certain place at certain time.…”

Since smart phones are always equipped with both cellular and Wi-Fi interfaces, this paper exploits the feasibility of the Wi-Fi based Device-to-Device (D2D) offloading mechanism to reduce cellular traffic. In our group LBS scenario, a group of users travel outdoors together and utilize their smart phones to form a mobile converged network, which is composed of cellular and Wi-Fi networks, to download and share the neighboring LBS data. Due to the wide-range coverage of the cellular network and the keeping-moving characteristic of users, one of these smart phones is selected to play the role of mobile proxy to download the shared LBS data using its cellular interface and then disseminate to other members using multicast over the Wi-Fi network, in which one adaptive FEC mechanism is adopted to tackle the packet loss situation. Besides, a user-transparent Machine-toMachine (M2M) based mobile proxy handoff mechanism is devised such that each smart phone can play the role of mobile proxy alternately to evenly consume each smart phone's power and thus extend the service time of the group LBS scenario. That is, the proposed offloading mechanism not only offloads the cellular network traffic but also reduces the power consumption.

“…Also, such approaches are also fundamental to enable broad-based application support for crowdsensing in VSNs, e.g., collaborative route planning to points of interests (POIs) [8]. Currently, various community creation approaches have been proposed, such as dynamic social group formation [9]. However, from the aspects of participatory sensing, unlike the social communities which usually formed by similar social entities, the crowdsensing teams may be formed by dissimilar social entities (i.e., participants with different skills/experiences/positions in VSNs) [10].…”

Driving is an integral part of our everyday lives, and the average driving time of people globally is increasing to 84 minutes everyday, which is a time when people are uniquely vulnerable. A number of research works have identified that mobile crowdsensing in vehicular social networks (VSNs) can be effectively used for many purposes and bring huge economic benefits, e.g., safety improvement and traffic management. This paper presents our effort that toward context-aware mobile crowdsensing in VSNs. First, we introduce a novel application-oriented service collaboration (ASCM) model which can automatically match multiple users with multiple mobile crowdsensing tasks in VSNs in an efficient manner. After that, for users' dynamic contexts of VSNs, we proposes a context information management model, that aims to enable the mobile crowdsensing applications to autonomously match appropriate service and information with different users (requesters and participants) in crowdsensing.

“…Contextual group means that group communication is initiated by identifying appropriate contacts based on context and then sharing activities inside the group. Some works have been done on discovering user's context based on social network data and mobile sensing [17], [18], but the task of contextual group formation has not been explored that much [15], [19].…”

“…Contextual group formation would need to consider both diverse domains and over-lapping groups for the best results. Location based group formation is discussed in [19]. The authors show a prototype where a group can be formed with respect to particular location.…”

Abstract-This paper investigates how the management of groups that communicate electronically, such as group formation, can be simplified based on users' context and social relations. This work builds on a framework for Aggregated Social Graphs, where each node represents the relational strength to other users. The strength of a relation is calculated by utilizing information on how we communicate using mobile phone calls, emails, and social networks in combination with additional sources of information such as from calendars. A contextual group management schema is presented where contextual parameters such as tags, locations and objects are used to prune an aggregated social graph in order to automatically form a group.The schema is implemented in a runtime environment based on the Distributed Shared Memory service available at Ericsson Labs. The feasibility of the proposed schema is then studied through a prototype implementation both in a web-browser and as a mobile app. The study shows that a group can be formed automatically and that a lightweight communication session then can be initiated for that group.
