Abstract:
Recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have been widely used under the call of green travel and environ-mental protection, and diverse requirements for charg-ing are also increasing gradually. In order to ensure the authenticity and privacy of charging information inter-action, blockchain technology is proposed and applied in charging station billing systems. However, there are some issues in blockchain itself, including lower computing efficiency of the nodes and higher energy consumption in the consensus process. To handle the above issues, in this paper, combining blockchain and mobile edge computing (MEC), we develop a reliable billing data transmission scheme to improve the com-puting capacity of nodes and reduce the energy con-sumption of the consensus process. By jointly opti-mizing the primary and replica nodes offloading de-cisions, block size and block interval, the transaction throughput of the blockchain system is maximized, as well as the latency and energy consumption of the system are minimized. Moreover, we formulate the joint optimization problem as a Markov decision pro-cess (MDP). To tackle the dynamic and continuity of the system state, the reinforcement learning (RL) is introduced to solve the MDP problem. Finally, sim-ulation results demonstrate that the performance im-provement of the proposed scheme through compari-son with other existing schemes.
