Blockchain Model for Environment/Infrastructure Monitoring in Cloud-Enabled High-Altitude Platform Systems

The recently accentuated features of augmenting conventional wireless networks with high altitude platform systems (HAPS) have fueled a plethora applications, which promise to offer new services ground users, as well enhance the efficiency and pervasion existing applications. Cloud-enabled HAPS, aims create HAPS-based datacenters that cloud has particularly emerged promising key enabler provide large-scale equitable from sky. Although offering HAPS proves be efficient, its practical deployment at stratosphere level still faces many challenges such energy requirements, physical maintenance, is prone security considerations. Safeguarding cloud-enabled against various cyberattacks necessity guarantee safe operation. This paper proposes blockchain model secure contain large number stations recurring within context environment infrastructure monitoring (EIM) application. To this end, first presents detailed framework, describes ways integrating developed framework into system components. We then discuss details implementation, including storing consuming transactions, generation blocks, consensus protocol tailored EIM requirements. Finally, we present numerical simulations illustrate performance in terms throughput, latency, resilience attacks.
