Blockchain-Based UAV-Assisted Mobile Edge Computing for Dual Game Resource Allocation

UAV-assisted mobile edge computing combines the flexibility of UAVs with the computing power of MEC to provide low-latency, high-performance computing solutions for a wide range of application scenarios. However, due to the highly dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the UAV environment, the optimal allocation of resources and system reliability still face significant challenges. This paper proposes a two-stage optimization (DSO) algorithm for UAV-assisted MEC, combining Stackelberg game theory and auction mechanisms to optimize resource allocation among servers, UAVs, and users. The first stage uses a Stackelberg game to allocate resources between servers and UAVs, while the second stage employs an auction algorithm for UAV-user resource pricing. Blockchain smart contracts automate task management, ensuring transparency and reliability. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional single-stage optimization algorithm (SSO), the equal allocation algorithm (EAA) and the dynamic resource pricing algorithm (DRP), the DSO algorithm proposed in this paper has significant advantages by improving resource utilization by 7–10%, reducing task latency by 3–5%, and lowering energy consumption by 4–8%, making it highly effective for dynamic UAV environments.
