Abstract
Blockchain has raised an evolution in the cyber network by using distributed storage, cryptography algorithms and smart contract. Many areas are benefiting from this technology, such as data integrity, security as well as authentication and authorization. Internet of Things network is often suffering from such security issues, obstructing its development in scales. In this paper, we employ blockchain technology to construct a decentralized platform for storing and trading information in the air-to-ground IoT heterogeneous network. To make both air and ground sensors trading in the decentralized network, we design a mutual benefit consensus process to the uneven equilibrium distribution of resources among the participators. We use the Cournot model to optimize the active density factor set in the heterogeneous air network and then employ Nash equilibrium to balance the number of ground supporters, which is subject to the achievable average downlink rate between the air sensors and the ground sensors. Finally, numerical results are provided to demonstrate the beneficial properties of the proposed consensus process for air-to-ground network, and show the maximum active sensors density utilization of air network to achieve a higher quality of service.
