Abstract- Link quality, trust management and energy efficiency are considered as main factors that affects the performance and lifetime of Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS). Routing packets toward the sink node can be a daunting task if aforementioned factors are considered. Correspondingly, routing packets by considering only shortest path or residual energy lead to suboptimal data forwarding. To this end, we proposes a Fuzzy logic based Routing (FR) solution that incorporates social behaviour of human beings, link quality and node quality to make the optimal routing decision. FR leverages friendship mechanism for trust management, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) to assure good link quality node selection and residual energy for long lasting sensor lifetime. Extensive simulations show that the FR solution outperform the existing approaches in terms of network lifetime and packet delivery ratio.
