• Abstract: Crowdsensing is a promising sensing paradigm for smart city applications (e.g., traffic and environment monitoring) with the prevalence of smart mobile devices and advanced network infrastructure. Meanwhile, as tasks are performed by individuals, privacy protection is one of the key issues in crowdsensing systems. Traditionally, to alleviate users' privacy concerns, noises are added to participants' sensitive data (e.g., participants' locations) through techniques such as differential privacy. However, this inevitably results in quality loss to the crowdsensing task. Recently, federated learning paradigm has been proposed, which aims to achieve privacy preservation in machine learning while ensuring that the learning quality suffers little or no loss. Inspired by the federated learning paradigm, this article studies how federated learning may benefit crowdsensing applications. In particular, we first propose a federated crowdsensing framework, which analyzes the privacy concerns of each crowdsensing stage (i.e., task creation, task assignment, task execution, and data aggregation) and discuss how federated learning techniques may take effect. Finally, we summarize key challenges and opportunities in federated crowdsensing.
