SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGIN...

This SpringerBrief investigates and reviews the development and various applications of mobile
crowd sensing (MCS). With the miniaturization of sensors and the popularity of smart mobile
devices  MCS becomes a promising solution to efficiently collect different types of information
such as traffic conditions  air quality  temperature and more  which is covered in this brief.
The features  novelty  and applications of MCS are elaborated in detail in this brief. In
addition  the basic knowledge about auction theory and incentive mechanism design is
introduced. Incentive mechanism design plays a key role in the success of MCS. With an
efficient incentive mechanism  it is possible to attract enough mobile users to participate in
a MCS system  thus enough high quality sensing data can be collected. Two types of incentive
mechanisms with different system models are introduced in this brief. One is the
reputation-aware incentive mechanism  and another is the social-aware incentive mechanism. This
SpringerBrief covers the significance and the impacts of both reputation and social
relationship of smartphone users (SUs) in MCS and presents extensive simulation results to
demonstrate the good performance of the proposed incentive mechanisms compared with some
existing counterparts.The target audience for this SpringerBrief is researchers and engineers
in the area of wireless communication and networking  especially those who are interested in
the mobile crowd sensing or incentive mechanism design. Meanwhile  it is also intended as a
reference guide for advanced level students in the area of wireless communications and computer
networks.
