Abstract

Mobile crowd sensing, as a new paradigm, means that mobile users equipped with smart devices to solve large-scale mobile sensing tasks through wireless communication. Data transmission schemes with opportunistic network in mobile crowd sensing have attracted widespread attention recently, which attempt to reach high delivery and low consumption. However, most transmission schemes resort to users’ trajectory and connection history that are dynamic and difficult to calculate, causing it so hard to establish stable connection channel. For achieving energy-efficient transmission, an energy-efficient data transmission protocol is proposed in this paper, which deploys static nodes to assist in information transmission based on Archimedes curve. Meanwhile, the significant performance of the proposed protocol is demonstrated through extensive simulations based on the ONE platform.
