Abstract
In this paper, we propose a delay-tolerant blockchain-enabled low-power wide area network. We consider the scenario of a set of information sources (e.g. sensors, IoT nodes) equipped with transceivers, accessing a common gateway in order to send sampled data of a local process to a group of remote destinations. Each source has an information penalty function, and the gateway earns a reward according to the result of this function. We show that our policy maximizes the reward of the gateway earned from the blockchain in a delayed reward situation.
