Summary: | Recruiting users in mobile crowdsensing (MCS) can make the platform obtain high-quality data to provide better services. Although the privacy leakage during the process of user recruitment has received a lot of research attention, none of the existing work considers the evaluation of the sensing quality of privacy-preserving data submitted by users, which makes the platform incapable of recruiting users suitably to obtain high-quality sensing data, thereby reducing the reliability of MCS services. To solve this problem, we first propose a sensing quality evaluation method based on the deviation and variance of sensing data. According to it, the platform can obtain the sensing quality of privacy-preserving data for each user during the recruitment. Then we model the user recruitment with a limited budget platform as a Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit (CMAB) game to determine the recruited users based on the sensing quality of data obtained by evaluation. Finally, we theoretically prove that our algorithm satisfies differential privacy and the upper bound on the regret of rewards is restricted. Experimental results show that our proposal is superior in various properties, and our method has a 73.67% advantage in accumulated sensing qualities compared with comparison schemes. |
