On Blockchain-Based Dynamic Resource Allocation for Concurrent Industrial Wireless Premises Networks
Jochen Rust, Simon Knobbe, Steffen Paul · 2019
The Blockchain technology has become one of the most groundbreaking discoveries of the last decade, encompassing a secure and distributed exchange of digital resources. By now, a large variety of applications and topics have been identified which have proven its feasibility. In this paper we discuss the deployment of Blockchains to manage concurrent industrial wireless premises networks. We propose a simple example of a Smart Contract protocol for distributed resource allocation, forcing the participants to reach an agreement on the wireless channel usage. A simple simulation model is set up highlighting Blockchain-based consensus findings as a promising approach for autonomous resource allocation within this application.
