Trust-ware Routing Protocol for Mobile Crowdsensing Environment

"Link quality, trust management and energy efficiency
are considered as main factors that affects the performance
and lifetime of Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS). Routing
packets toward the sink node can be a daunting task if
aforementioned factors are considered. Correspondingly, routing
packets by considering only shortest path or residual energy
lead to suboptimal data forwarding. To this end, we proposes a
Fuzzy logic based Routing (FR) solution that incorporates social
behaviour of human beings, link quality and node quality to make
the optimal routing decision. FR leverages friendship mechanism
for trust management, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) to assure good
link quality node selection and residual energy for long lasting
sensor lifetime. Extensive simulations show that the FR solution
outperform the existing approaches in terms of network lifetime
and packet delivery ratio."
