Blockchain-Empowered Immutable and Reliable Delivery Service (BIRDS) Using UAV Networks
2023 IEEE 28th International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD)(2024)
摘要
Exploiting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for delivery services is expected
to reduce delivery time and human resource costs. However, the proximity of
these UAVs to the ground can make them an ideal target for opportunistic crim-
inals. Consequently, UAVs may be hacked, diverted from their destinations, or
used for malicious purposes. Furthermore, as a decentralized (peer-to-peer)
technology, the blockchain has im- mense potential to enable secure,
decentralized, and cooperative communication among UAVs. With this goal in
mind, we propose the Blockchain-Empowered, Immutable, and Reliable Delivery
Service (BIRDS) framework to address data security challenges. BIRDS deploys
communication hubs across a scalable network. Following the registration phase
of BIRDS, UAV node selection is carried out based on a specific consensus
proof-of-competence (PoC), where UAVs are evaluated solely on their
credibility. The chosen finalist is awarded a certificate for the BIRDS global
order fulfillment system. The simulation results demonstrate that BIRDS
requires fewer UAVs compared to conventional solutions, resulting in reduced
costs and emissions. The proposed BIRDS framework caters to the requirements of
numerous users while necessitating less network traffic and consuming low
energy.
