How Much Communication Resource is Needed to Run a Wireless Blockchain Network?

Blockchain is built on a peer-to-peer network that relies frequent communications among distributively located nodes. In particular, the consensus mechanisms (CMs), which play pivotal role in blockchain, are communication resource-demanding and largely determine blockchain security bounds (i.e., fault tolerances) other key performance metrics such as transaction throughput, latency scalability. Most systems designed stable wired running advanced devices under assumption of sufficient resource provision. However, it envisioned majority node peers will be connected through wireless future. Constrained by highly dynamic channel scarce frequency spectrum, can significantly affect blockchain's metrics. Hence, this article, we present networks (WBN) various commonly used CMs answer question how much needed to run network. We first four stages procedure. then discuss relationship between provision WBNs performance, for three most CMs, namely, Proof-of-Work (PoW), practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant (PBFT) Raft. Finally, provide analytical simulated results show impact block-chain performance.
