Markov Chain-Based Model of Blockchain Radio Access Networks

Security has always been a priority, for re- searchers, service providers and network operators when it comes to radio access networks (RAN). One wireless access approach that has captured attention is blockchain enabled RAN (B-RAN) due to its secure nature. This research introduces a framework that integrates blockchain technology into RAN while also addressing the limitations of state-of-the-art models. The proposed framework utilizes queuing and Markov chain theory to model the aspects of B-RAN. An extensive evaluation of the models performance is provided, including an analysis of timing factors and a focused assessment of its security as- pects. The results demonstrate reduced latency and comparable security making the presented framework suitable for diverse application scenarios.
