Abstract
To promote the application of edge computing in wireless blockchain networks, this paper presents a business ecosystem, where edge computing is introduced to assist blockchain users in implementing the mining process. This paper exploits resource trading and miner competition to enable secure and efficient transactions in the presented business ecosystem. The resource trading problem is formulated as a Stackelberg game between miner candidates and edge computing servers, where computing, caching, and communication resources are jointly optimized to maximize the potential profit. Partial offloading is introduced to further enhance the system performance when compared with the existing work. We analyze the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium and Stackelberg equilibrium. Based on the optimization result, winners are selected from the set of miner candidates by bidding and constitute the mining network. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposal is able to improve the social welfare of blockchain miners, thus stimulating more blockchain users to join the mining network.
