Abstract The proliferation of intelligent, connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices facilitates data collection. However, task workers may be reluctant to participate in data collection due to privacy concerns, and task requesters may be concerned about the validity of the collected data. Hence, it is vital to evaluate the quality of the data collected by the task workers while protecting privacy in spatial crowdsourcing (SC) data collection tasks with IoT. To this end, this paper proposes a privacy-preserving data reliability evaluation for SC in IoT, named PARE. First, we design a data uploading format using blockchain More >

Abstract Blockchain technology is increasingly used to design trustworthy and reliable platforms for sharing information in a plethora of industries. It is a decentralized system that acts as an immutable record for storing data. It has the potential to disrupt a range of fields that rely on data, including autonomous systems like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, we propose a framework based on blockchain and distributed ledger technology to improve transmission time and provide a secured and trusted method for UAVs to transfer data to the consumer efficiently while maintaining data reliability. The results More >

Abstract The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is regarded as the fastest expanding technological trend in recent years due its application in a variety of sectors. In the monitoring region, several sensor nodes with various sensing capabilities are installed to gather appropriate data and communicate it to the gateway. The proposed system of the heterogeneous WSN employing LoRaWAN-Zigbee based hybrid communication is explored in this research study. To communicate in a network, two Long–Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) sensor clusters and two Zigbee sensor clusters are employed, together with two Zigbee and LoRaWAN converters. The suggested Golden… More >
