Abstract

Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) has been applied in various fields to realize data sharing, where multiple platforms and multiple Mobile Users () have appeared recently. However, aiming at mutual selection, the existing works ignore making ' utilities with the limited resources and platforms' utilities while achieving the desired sensing data quality maximum as far as possible. Thus, they cannot motivate both and platforms to participate. To address this problem, standing on both sides of and platforms with conflicting interests, we propose a Progressive two-stage Auction-based Multi-platform Multi-user Mutual Selection scheme (). Specifically, in, we treat mutual selection as a two-stage auction and devise the auction models for and platform using forward and reverse auction ideas, presenting and maximizing the utilities from their respective perspectives. Then, based on the proposed progressive two-stage auction structure, we adopt 0-1 knapsack and Myerson's price theory to construct the first stage -oriented auction and the second stage platform-oriented auction, achieving devised models. Theoretical analysis shows that is economically robust. Extensive experiments on the real dataset demonstrate that respectively promotes platforms' and ' utilities by 76.23% and 10.74 times, compared with the existing works.
