Resource Allocation Optimization for Blockchain Empowered AF Relay Network

The integration of blockchain technology with wireless communication network has introduced positive solution to deal with challenges of increasing expectations of various applications. This paper formultes an optimization problem for minimizing of economic cost with quality of service (QoS) guarantees in the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network. To address this problem, an optimal resource allocation scheme is proposed. We also present a blockchain-empowered processing flow to ensure cooperative transmission and provide incentive mechanism to support decentralized and sustainable development. The simulation results indicate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed approach.
