Abstract:
With the explosive growth of emerging applications in wireless networks, high transmission rate, low latency and secure data and resource sharing have become urgent requirements. Mobile edge computing (MEC) technology can provides low latency computing services and high speed content cache to obtain a higher service quality. In combined with blockchain technology, which are capable of establishing trust in an untrustworthy environment, the security function of MEC can be enhanced and satisfies the new application needs. In this paper, the data sharing application in mobile edge blockchain is considered. The BS is responsible of forwarding data package from the source to the target UE. Meanwhile, the MEC server deployed at the BS generates a transaction recording this sharing event and mine the corresponding block to ensure security. The profit of the BS related to the wireless data transmission cost of frequency resource and power, the mining reward and the edge computing cost of the transaction and the competitiveness of the MEC server in the blockchain system is defined as the network utility. The data sharing task scheduling problem at the BS is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP), and policy gradient based task scheduling (PG-TS) algorithm is proposed and evaluated. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than greedy, random, and first in first out (FIFO) algorithm. © 2020 IEEE.
