Abstract: Based on the idea of crowdsourcing,mobile crowdsensing(MCS) collects mobile sensing devices to sense the surroun-ding environment,which can make environment sensing and information collection more flexible,convenient and efficient.Whe-ther the task allocation strategy is reasonable or not directly affects the success of the sensing task.Therefore,formulating a reasonable task allocation strategy is a hotspot and focus in the research of MCS.At present,most of the task allocation methods in MCS systems are offline and targeted at single type tasks.However,in practice,online multi-type task allocation is more common.Therefore,this paper studies the task allocation method in MCS for multiple types of tasks,and proposes an online task allocation strategy oriented to system benefits combined with the characteristics of MCS technology in the military field.In this paper,a long-term,dynamic online task allocation system model is established,and the problem is solved based on Lyapunov optimization theory with the system benefit as the optimization goal,so that the online dynamic control of task admission strategy and task allocation scheme is realized.Experiment shows that the online task allocation algorithm proposed in this paper is effective and feasible.It can reasonably allocate the tasks arriving at the MCS system online,ensure the stability of the task queue,and increase the system utility by adjusting the parameter value.

Key words: Mobile crowdsensing, System utility, Lyapunov optimization, Stability of task queue
