Abstract
Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) receives extensive interest due to enabling many novel applications at lower cost. However in pricing incentive scenes of MCS, utility from mobile users presents complex distributions due to mobility, changes of abilities and resource consumption such as device’s energy and memory, especially for submodular MCS with more general distributions. However, existing works only focus on homogeneous and heterogeneous MCS, whether multi-request pricing scene or single-request pricing scene. To the end, in this paper, we investigate online pricing issues for submodular MCS. Moreover, we apply a multiple-stage budget-limited process and robust mean estimators to design budget-limited pricing incentive for submodular MCS. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our mechanisms outweigh existing benchmarks.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications journal is to disseminate state-of-the-art research and development results in this rapidly growing research area, to facilitate the deployment of P2P networking and applications, and to bring together the academic and industry communities, with the goal of fostering interaction to promote further research interests and activities, thus enabling new P2P applications and services. The journal not only addresses research topics related to networking and communications theory, but also considers the standardization, economic, and engineering aspects of P2P technologies, and their impacts on software engineering, computer engineering, networked communication, and security.
The journal serves as a forum for tackling the technical problems arising from both file sharing and media streaming applications. It also includes state-of-the-art technologies in the P2P security domain.
Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications publishes regular papers, tutorials and review papers, case studies, and correspondence from the research, development, and standardization communities. Papers addressing system, application, and service issues are encouraged.
