Reputation-Aware Incentive Mechanism Design

During the collection of sensing data, the service provider (SP) aims to obtain a large amount of data. However, in addition to the quantity of the collected data, the quality of each collected data is also important. Smartphone users (SUs) may submit some erroneous or unreliable data intentionally or unintentionally, and the low-quality data will impact the accuracy of data analysis result, degrade the satisfaction of an SP. Therefore, the quality of sensing data is one of the most critical factors in the collection of sensing data, and should be considered in the incentive mechanism design.
