Abstract(in English) The use of mobile crowdsensing (MCS), in which sensing data measured by mobile devices equipped with high-performance sensing capabilities are collected from various workers to estimate true values, is expanding. Since the widespread use of smartphones in the 2010s, MCS has attracted particular attention as a sensor device because of its excellent sensing capabilities, its ability to acquire large amounts of data from a wide range of locations, and its low cost because it does not require the construction of infrastructure. However, in reality, it is expected that the values measured by sensors have errors, and it is essential for service providers using MCSs to consider how to control errors. Existing studies have proposed methods such as extending and applying the DPA method from a single area to multiple areas and deploying attackers so that the estimation error is maximized, but methods for controlling estimation error in multiple areas have not been studied. In addition, although studies have been conducted based on the assumption that data is collected from all workers existing in each area, it is necessary to provide incentives to workers, and due to budget constraints of the MCS, it is expected that data will actually be collected only from workers sampled with a certain probability. Therefore, this study proposes a method for setting the optimal number of workers to sample when collecting data from workers in multiple areas under the condition that the total number of sampled workers is fixed. The service provider sets the total number of workers to collect data, obtains values from a database that stores the average estimation error for the number of sampled workers, and determines the number of sampled workers in each area based on the amount of change in the estimation error after changing the number of sampled workers. Simulation experiments of this type of operation confirmed the effectiveness of error suppression by collecting more data from areas with large errors.
