Review of Mobile Air-Ground Crowdsensing

Abstract

As an emerging sensing mode,mobile crowdsensing can realize low-cost and large-scale urban sensing by reusing a large number of existing mobile sensing resources of air and ground.Therefore,it is of great significance to improve the utilization of mobile sensing resources and promote the development of smart cities by jointly utilizing air-ground mobile sensing resources to realize air-ground cooperative mobile crowdsensing.To this end,this paper reviews the recent research on air-ground cooperative mobile crowdsensing.Firstly,it introduces the rising background and development status of air-ground cooperative mobile crowdsensing.Then it analyzes the existing research work on mobile crowdsensing from two dimensions of ground-based mobile devices and air-based mobile devices,and summarizes the current problems.Finally,three important future research directions for air-ground cooperative mobile crowdsensing in cross-platform user information learning,cross-air-ground mobile device scheduling,and cross-task sensing resource allocation are proposed to provide valuable reference for relevant researchers.
