Efficient Recruitment Strategy for Collaborative Mobile Crowd Sensing Based on GCN Trustworthiness Prediction
share
Collaborative Mobile Crowd Sensing (CMCS) enhances data quality and coverage by promoting teamwork in task sensing, with worker recruitment representing a complex multi-objective optimization problem. Existing strategies mainly focus on the characteristics of workers themselves, neglecting the asymmetric trust relationships between them, which affects the rationality of task utility evaluation. To address this, this paper first employs the Mini-Batch K-Means clustering algorithm and deploys edge servers to enable efficient distributed worker recruitment. Historical data and task requirements are utilized to obtain workers' ability types and distances. A trust-directed graph in the worker's social network is input into the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) framework for training, capturing asymmetric trustworthiness between worker pairs. Privacy leakage is prevented in CMCS scenarios through high trust values between workers. Ultimately, an undirected recruitment graph is constructed using workers' abilities, trust values, and distance weights, transforming the worker recruitment problem into a Maximum Weight Average Subgraph Problem (MWASP). A Tabu Search Recruitment (TSR) algorithm is proposed to rationally recruit a balanced multi-objective optimal task utility worker set for each task. Extensive simulation experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, outperforming other strategies.
