The spatial crowdsourcing task places workers at a risk of privacy leakage. If positional information is not required to submit, it will result in an increased error rate and number of spammers, which together affects the quality of spatial crowdsourcing. In this paper, a spatial crowdsourcing quality control model is proposed, called SCQCM. In the model, the spatial k-anonymity algorithm is used to protect the position privacy of the general spatial crowdsourcing workers. Next, an ELM (extreme learning machine) algorithm is used to detect spammers, while an EM (expectation maximization) algorithm is used to estimate the error rate. Finally, different parameters are selected, and the efficiency of the model is simulated. The results showed that the spatial crowdsourcing model proposed in this paper guaranteed the quality of crowdsourcing projects on the premise of protecting the privacy of workers.

Spatial crowdsourcing is an emerging outsourcing platform that allocates spatio-temporal tasks to a set of workers. Then, the worker moves to the specified locations to perform the tasks. However, it usually demands workers to upload their location information to the spatial crowdsourcing server, which unavoidably attracts attention to the privacy-preserving of the workers’ locations. In this article, we propose a novel framework that can protect the location privacy of the workers and the requesters when assigning tasks to workers. Our scheme is based on mathematical transformation to the location while providing privacy protection to workers and requesters. Moreover, to further preserve the relative location between workers, we generate a certain amount of noise to interfere the spatial crowdsourcing server. Experimental results on real-world data sets show the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed framework.

Abstract This paper proposes a collaborative scheduling strategy for computing resources of the Internet of vehicles considering location privacy protection in the mobile edge computing environment. Firstly, a multi area multi-user multi MEC server system is designed, in which a MEC server is deployed in each area, and multiple vehicle user equipment in an area can offload computing tasks to MEC servers in different areas by a wireless channel. Then, considering the mobility of users in Internet of vehicles, a vehicle distance prediction based on Kalman filter is proposed to improve the accuracy of vehicle-to-vehicle distance. However, when the vehicle performs the task, it needs to submit the real location, which causes the problem of the location privacy disclosure of vehicle users. Finally, the total cost of communication delay, location privacy of vehicles and energy consumption of all users is formulated as the optimization goal, which take into account the system state, action strategy, reward and punishment function and other factors. Moreover, Double DQN algorithm is used to solve the optimal scheduling strategy for minimizing the total consumption cost of system. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm has the highest computing task completion rate and converges to about 80% after 8000 iterations, and its performance is more ideal compared with other algorithms in terms of system energy cost and task completion rate, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed scheduling strategy.
