Blockchain enabled verification for cellular-connected unmanned aircraft system networking

The emerging 5G New Radio (5G NR) stimulates the evolution of applications in many fields. Compared with 4G, NR can provide much more reliable, efficient, flexible networking access services to mobile devices which escalate quality (QoS) for users remarkably. advantages affordability, easy assembling and quick driving, allow deployment Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) on a large scale, elevation industrial civilian implementations ubiquitously. With enhancement cellular networking, control range UAS extend significantly allows controller finish their mission far away from workplace prevents threats derived hazards uncertain environment. Base Stations (BSs) are vital cellular-connected because BSs Internet remote controllers that sends instructions backhauls packets precisely timely. However, malicious great UAS. Specifically, scattered legislative cannot formal What is worse, attackers leverage disclose controllers’ privacy set public property. In this paper, we propose novel blockchain-based approach mitigate accessing BSs. We implement consensus construction authentication enhance efficiency verification between To achieve security connected UAS, deploy blockchain maintain high online rate networking. Apart prevention BSs, our detect eliminate proportion evaluation shows proposed outperforms conventional point-to-point method. Concurrently, enhanced Our enabled has potentials rise scale.
