Decentralized Caching for Content Delivery Based on Blockchain: A Game Theoretic Perspective
Decentralized Caching for Content Delivery Based on Blockchain: A Game Theoretic Perspective
Blockchains enable tamper-proof, ordered logging for transactional data in a decentralized manner over open-access, overlay peer-to-peer networks. In this paper, we propose a decentralized framework of proactive caching in a hierarchical wireless network based on blockchains. We employ the blockchain-based smart contracts to construct an autonomous content caching market. In …
