论文摘要
移动边缘计算（MEC）和下一代移动网络设置为破坏智能和自主系统互连的方式。这将对从物联网到自动移动机器人的各种领域产生影响。在固有分布的架构中将这种多种MEC服务的集成需要一个可靠的系统，以管理硬件资源，平衡网络负载并保护分布式应用程序。区块链技术已经出现了用于管理MEC服务的解决方案，该解决方案通过共识协议和数据完整性检查，可实现透明，高效的分布式决策。除透明度外，从安全角度来看，从安全角度看来。但是，区块链技术在可伸缩性方面面临重大挑战。在本章中，我们回顾了建立良好和下一代区块链体系结构中现有的共识协议和可伸缩性技术。从中，我们评估了管理MEC服务的最合适的解决方案，并讨论了可用替代方案的好处和缺点。
Mobile edge computing (MEC) and next-generation mobile networks are set to disrupt the way intelligent and autonomous systems are interconnected. This will have an effect on a wide range of domains, from the Internet of Things to autonomous mobile robots. The integration of such a variety of MEC services in a inherently distributed architecture requires a robust system for managing hardware resources, balancing the network load and securing the distributed applications. Blockchain technology has emerged a solution for managing MEC services, with consensus protocols and data integrity checks that enable transparent and efficient distributed decision-making. In addition to transparency, the benefits from a security point of view are evident. Nonetheless, blockchain technology faces significant challenges in terms of scalability. In this chapter, we review existing consensus protocols and scalability techniques in both well-established and next-generation blockchain architectures. From this, we evaluate the most suitable solutions for managing MEC services and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the available alternatives.
