Leveraging Blockchain for Secure Drone-to-Everything Communications

The popularity of drones has increased their deployment in a wide range applications like commercial delivery, industrial systems, monitoring, surveillance, and surveys. facility fast cost effectiveness make potential choice for an aerial base station to serve user equipments (UEs) defined area. Drones are equipped with night vision cameras, advanced sensors, GPS receivers, which them able capture data either analyze it discover new patterns or transmit the remote cloud storage processing. Furthermore, relaying system helps extend service coverage area provide reliable communication connection isolated UEs. However, at locations relies only on GPS, these systems prone various attacks that can lead signal blockage. Data integrity privacy important issues must be addressed before sectors. Therefore, this article, we propose blockchain-based security approach drone-to-everything communications wherein location is tracked based segment division under deployment. Moreover, design miner node selection algorithm uses computational resources, battery status, time flight drone as parameters select node. evaluation proposed framework clearly shows viability blockchain deployments across sites.
