Using Blockchain for Flow Measurement of 5G Base Station
Li Lu, Donglin Wu · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering · 2020
Abstract 5G is a hot area for its high speed data transmission by millimetre wave. Thus a huge amount of 5G base stations are required to be established, which brings heavy burden to 5G operators. In this paper, we propose a new flow measurement system based on blockchain to settle accounts for base stations belonging to different operators securely and fairly. For the base stations can verify the data flow for each other, only real data transmission can be recorded by blockchain. The proposed system can utilize existing consensus mechanism to make it stable and distributed. A concrete scheme is constructed and the scheme is proved to be secure. With this system, the base stations can be encouraged to be setup by different 5G operators and other companies to gain incentive by transmitting data service. This system can solve the problem of huge demand of base stations, and it’s secure, fair, and suitable for real deployment in practice.
