Description
Summary:The utilization of blockchain technology as a distributed information sharing system has gained widespread adoption across various domains. However, its application to Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET), characterized by severe packet loss, poses significant challenges. The high packet loss rates in FANETs can result in decreased consensus success rates and negatively impact information sharing consistency and efficiency. In this paper, we proposed RoUBC, a novel consensus scheme for Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANET), which is based on the Raft protocol and is designed to address the challenges posed by the severe packet loss network in FANET. The proposed scheme consists of two phases: leader election and block consensus. In the leader election phase, we integrate multi-criteria decision-making and link prediction algorithms to design an efficient stable-leader election method. In the block consensus phase, we propose a dynamic block verification algorithm based on historical verification information to achieve efficient block consensus. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed consensus protocol is safe and live, effectively ensuring the consistency of message sharing in FANET. Experiment results show that our scheme outperforms traditional Raft schemes, with 35% increase in consensus success rate and 25% improvement in consensus efficiency.
