Title
Blockchain-Driven Contents Sharing Strategy for Wireless Cache-Enabled D2D Networks
Abstract
Caching and sharing contents among mobile devices via wireless device-to-device (D2D) communications is a promising way to offload data traffic. In order to encourage more content sharing among mobile devices, we propose a blockchain incentive scheme in this paper, where the base station (BS) can allocate computing power to mine blockchain in a period of time and give this mining profit to the mobile devices that share contents with others via D2D communication. In order to maximize the total profit, we develop the caching placement schemes considering different relationships between the allocated computing power and the shared data size. For the linear relationship, we can obtain the closed form expression of the optimal caching scheme and find that the mobile device prefers to cache the popular contents. For the nonlinear relationship, the optimal problem can be effectively solved by difference of convex (DC) programming and the results reveal that the mobile device prefers to caching different contents.
