description This paper introduces a comprehensive strategy for heterogeneously allocating tasks, aiming to optimize mobile crowd sensing through the use of fuzzy logic and thus achieving superior coverage quality. We employed a deep learning method to address the diverse range of requests. Recognizing the instability during the learning process, we utilized an approximation function for the Q-values, thereby preventing divergence during the training phase of the model. A prominent challenge is ensuring robust user participation in mobile crowd sensing initiatives. Essentially, a higher number of monitoring nodes within an area correlates with improved coverage quality. We employed fuzzy logic to estimate participation density, taking into account both the duration of users' presence in the study region and the geographical density. Our results are compelling: the proposed method boosts coverage levels by over 17% compared to standard techniques. Additionally, with an accuracy spanning 91.5% to 95.3% for the correct allocation of resources using a dataset from Google, the efficacy of our approach is further underscored.
