In this article, we put forward the mobile crowd sensing paradigm based on ubiquitous wearable devices carried by human users. The key challenge for mass user involvement into prospective urban crowd sending applications, such as monitoring of large-scale phenomena (e.g., traffic congestion and air pollution levels), is the appropriate sources of motivation. We thus advocate for the use of wireless power transfer provided in exchange for sensed data to incentivize the owners of wearables to participate in collaborative data collection. Based on this construction, we develop the novel concept of wirelessly powered crowd sensing and offer the corresponding network architecture considerations together with a systematic review of wireless charging techniques to implement it. Further, we contribute a detailed system-level feasibility study that reports on the achievable performance levels for the envisioned setup. Finally, the underlying energy-data trading mechanisms are discussed, and the work is concluded with outlining open research opportunities.

Wirelessly-powered sensor networks (WPSNs) are becoming increasingly important in different monitoring applications. We consider a WPSN where a multiple-antenna base station, which is dedicated for energy transmission, sends pilot signals to estimate
the channel state information and consequently shapes the energy beams toward the sensor nodes. Given a fixed energy budget at the base station, in this paper, we investigate the novel problem of optimally allocating the power for the channel estimation and for the energy transmission. We formulate this non-convex optimization problem for general channel estimation and beamforming schemes that satisfy some qualification conditions. We provide a new solution approach and a performance analysis in terms of optimality and complexity. We also present a closed-form solution for the case where the channels are estimated based on a least square channel estimation and a maximum ratio transmit beamforming scheme. The analysis and simulations indicate a significant gain in terms of the network sensing rate, compared to the fixed power allocation, and the importance of improving the channel estimation efficiency.
For decades, wireless energy transfer and harvesting remained of focused attention in the research community, but with limited practical applications. Recently, with the development of fifth-generation (5G) mobile technology, the concept of dedicated
radio-frequency (RF) charging promises to support the growing market of wearable devices. In this work, we shed light on the potential of wireless RF power transfer by elaborating upon feasible system parameters and architecture, emphasizing the basic trade-offs behind omni-directional and directional out-of-band energy transmission, providing system-level performance evaluation, as well as discussing open challenges on the way to sustainable wireless-powered wearables. The key aspects highlighted in this article include system operation choices, user mobility effects, impact of network and user densities, as well as regulatory issues. Ultimately, our research targets to facilitate the integration of wireless RF charging technology into the emerging 5G ecosystem.
Future IoT networks consist of heterogeneous types of IoT devices (with various communication types and energy constraints) which are assumed to belong to an IoT service provider (ISP). To power backscattering-based and wireless-powered devices, the
ISP has to contract with an energy service provider (ESP). This article studies the strategic interactions between the ISP and its ESP and their implications on the joint optimal time scheduling and energy trading for heterogeneous devices. To that end, we propose an economic framework using the Stackelberg game to maximize the network throughput and energy efficiency of both the ISP and ESP. Specifically, the ISP leads the game by sending its optimal service time and energy price request (that maximizes its profit) to the ESP. The ESP then optimizes and supplies the transmission power which satisfies the ISPs request (while maximizing ESPs utility). To obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium (SE), we apply a backward induction technique which first derives a closed-form solution for the ESP. Then, to tackle the non-convex optimization problem for the ISP, we leverage the block coordinate descent and convex-concave procedure techniques to design two partitioning schemes (i.e., partial adjustment (PA) and joint adjustment (JA)) to find the optimal energy price and service time that constitute local SEs. Numerical results reveal that by jointly optimizing the energy trading and the time allocation for heterogeneous IoT devices, one can achieve significant improvements in terms of the ISPs profit compared with those of conventional transmission methods. Different tradeoffs between the ESPs and ISPs profits and complexities of the PA/JA schemes can also be numerically tuned. Simulations also show that the obtained local SEs approach the socially optimal welfare when the ISPs benefit per transmitted bit is higher than a given threshold.
Crowd sensing is a new paradigm which leverages the pervasive smartphones to efficiently collect and upload sensing data, enabling numerous novel applications. To achieve good service quality for a crowd sensing application, incentive mechanisms are
necessary for attracting more user participation. Most of existing mechanisms apply only for the budget-constraint scenario where the platform (the crowd sensing organizer) has a budget limit. On the contrary, we focus on a different scenario where the platform has a service limit. Based on the offline and online auction model, we consider a general problem: users submit their private profiles to the platform, and the platform aims at selecting a subset of users before a specified deadline for minimizing the total payment while a specific service can be completed. Specially, we design offline and online service-constraint incentive mechanisms for the case where the value function of selected users is monotone submodular. The mechanisms are individual rationality, task feasibility, computational efficiency, truthfulness, consumer sovereignty, constant frugality, and also performs well in practice. Finally, we use extensive simulations to demonstrate the theoretical properties of our mechanisms.
Mobile crowd sensing (MCS) is a new paradigm which leverages the ubiquity of sensor-equipped mobile devices such as smartphones, music players, and in-vehicle sensors at the edge of the Internet, to collect data. The new paradigm will fuel the evolut
ion of the Internet of Things to three changes as follows: First, the terminal devices at the edge of the Internet change from PCs to mobile phones. Second, the interactive mode extends from the virtual space to the real physical world. Thirdly, the forwarding manner of sensing data are undergoing the transition from the priori to the opportunistic. To better meet the demands of MCS applications at a societal scale, incentive mechanisms are indispensable. In this paper, we will first overview three categories of MCS applications, and then propose a new architecture for MCS applications. Based on the architecture, we discuss various research challenges about incentive mechanism designs for MCS applications, followed by potential future work discussions. Finally, we present potential future works.
