# Online Participatory Sensing in Double Auction Environment with Location Information

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a truthful mechanism for online participatory sensing in double auction environments that leverages location information, ensuring economic properties like budget balance and individual rationality.

## Contribution

It proposes a novel truthful mechanism tailored for participatory sensing with location data in online double auctions, addressing key economic properties.

## Key findings

- Mechanism is truthful and satisfies budget balance.
- Ensures individual rationality for participants.
- Applicable to real-world participatory sensing scenarios.

## Abstract

As mobile devices have been ubiquitous, participatory sensing emerges as a powerful tool to solve many contemporary real life problems. Here, we contemplate the participatory sensing in online double auction environment by considering the location information of the participating agents. In this paper, we propose a truthful mechanism in this setting and the mechanism also satisfies the other economic properties such as budget balance and individual rationality.
