ABSTRACT
A major challenge for broader adoption of the mobile crowdsensing systems is how to incentivize people to collect and share sensor data. Many of the proposed mobile crowdsensing systems provide monetary incentives to smartphone users to collect sensing data. There are solutions based on micropayments [141] in which small tasks are matched with small payments. Social incentive techniques such as sharing meaningful aggregated sensing information back to participants were also explored, to motivate individuals to participate in sensing. In addition, there are gamification techniques proposed for crowdsourced applications [115, 81]. In this chapter, we discuss in detail each of these incentive techniques.
