Incentive mechanism based on auction model for mobile crowd sensing network by Yuanni LIU, Yaoxi LI, Huicong LI, Wanlin LI, Jianhui ZHANG, Guofeng ZHAO

“…The selfishness and uncertainty of user behaviors in the mobile crowd sensing network make them unwilling to participate in sensing activities,which may result to a lower sensing task completion rate.To deal with these problems,an incentive mechanism based on auction model was proposed.In order to maximize the utility of each user,the proposed incentive method based on reverse auction (IMRA) leveraged a task-centric method to choose winners,and payed them according to a critical-price strategy.Furthermore,the proposed user-bidirectional interaction incentive mechanism (UBIM) helped drop-out users (buyers) to transfer their unfinished tasks to new users.Simulation results show that,compared with TRAC and IMC-SS,IMRA can achieve a better performance in terms of average user utility and tasks coverage ratio,and the task completion ratio can also be improved by UBIM.…”
