论文摘要
在多访问边缘计算（MEC）的背景下，边缘服务器之间的任务共享机制是对加速计算过程至关重要的活动，从而改善了用户体验。 Edge服务器形式的分布式资源有望相互协作，以提高MEC系统的整体性能。但是，在边缘计算服务器实体中采用全球协作存在许多挑战，其中两个具有重要意义：确保服务器之间的信任并制定统一的计划以实现实时协作和任务共享。在本文中，提出了一个区块链框架，以在MEC环境中提供边缘服务器之间的可信赖协作机制。特别是，研究了一项权限的区块链计划，以支持可信赖的设计，该设计还提供了激励措施进行协作。最后，使用卡尺工具和HyperLeDger织物基准来对MEC框架中嵌入的拟议区块链方案进行实验评估。
In the context of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), the task sharing mechanism among edge servers is an activity of vital importance for speeding up the computing process and thereby improve user experience. The distributed resources in the form of edge servers are expected to collaborate with each other in order to boost overall performance of a MEC system. However, there are many challenges to adopt global collaboration among the edge computing server entities among which the following two are significant: ensuring trust among the servers and developing a unified scheme to enable real-time collaboration and task sharing. In this article, a blockchain framework is proposed to provide a trusted collaboration mechanism between edge servers in a MEC environment. In particular, a permissioned blockchain scheme is investigated to support a trusted design that also provides incentives for collaboration. Finally, Caliper tool and Hyperledger Fabric benchmarks are used to conduct an experimental evaluation of the proposed blockchain scheme embedded in a MEC framework.
