With increasing popularity of related applications of mobile crowdsensing, especially in the field of Internet of Vehicles (IoV), task allocation has attracted wide attention. How to select appropriate participants is a key problem in vehicle-based crowdsensing networks. Some traditional methods choose participants based on minimizing distance, which requires participants to submit their current locations. In this case, participants’ location privacy is violated, which influences disclosure of participants’ sensitive information. Many privacy preserving task allocation mechanisms have been proposed to encourage users to participate in mobile crowdsensing. However, most of them assume that different participants’ task completion quality is the same, which is not reasonable in reality. In this paper, we propose an optimal location privacy preserving and service quality guaranteed task allocation in vehicle-based crowdsensing networks. Specifically, we utilize differential privacy to preserve participants’ location privacy, where every participant can submit the obfuscated location to the platform instead of the real one. Based on the obfuscated locations, we design an optimal problem to minimize the moving distance and maximize the task completion quality simultaneously. In order to solve this problem, we decompose it into two linear optimization problems. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed mechanism.
