Abstract
In the Internet of Everything era, the Energy Internet of Things (IoT), as a typical application of IoT technology, has been extensively studied. Meanwhile, blockchain technology and energy IoT can be coordinated and complementary. The energy IoT is diversified and has a high transaction demand. it is an issue worthy of research to discuss the impact of the energy IoT environment on the performance of blockchain consensus algorithms and guarantee blockchain stability in energy IoT environment. In the research, an incentive mechanism based on Stackelberg game is proposed for the network scenario involving multiple roadside units and user nodes. The proposed strategy is analyzed through the Matlab simulation platform. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively protect the interests of blockchain users and miners. It also can improve the security and stability of the blockchain-based energy IoT system. Moreover, the numerical results not only verify the model feasibility. It also shows that when there are many blockchain miners, the model performance is fine. However, when the number of miners reaches a certain value, there will be unobvious growth. Furthermore, it is
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Engineering is to provide a forum for communication of information among the world''s scientific and technological community and Iranian scientists and engineers. This journal intends to be of interest and utility to researchers and practitioners in the academic, industrial and governmental sectors. All original research contributions of significant value in all areas of engineering discipline are welcome. This journal is published in two quarterly transactions. Transactions A (Basics) deals with the engineering fundamentals. Transactions B (Applications) are concerned with the application of engineering knowledge in the daily life of the human being and Transactions C (Aspects) - starting from January 2012 - emphasize on the main engineering aspects whose elaboration can yield knowledge and expertise that can equally serve all branches of engineering discipline. This journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental researches and advanced applications embodying the results of extensive field, plant, laboratory or theoretical investigation or new interpretations of existing problems. It may also feature - when appropriate - research notes, technical notes, state-of-the-art survey type papers, short communications, letters to the editor, meeting schedules and conference announcements. The language of publication is English. Each paper should contain an abstract both in English and Persian. However, for the authors who are not familiar with Persian language, the publisher will prepare the translations. The abstracts should not exceed 250 words.
