Abstract:

To address the security and privacy issues for data sharing in digital twin edge networks, a new distributed and secure data sharing mechanism was developed by leveraging blockchain sharding.Considering dynamic and time varying features in digital twin edge networks and mapping errors of physic networks, an adaptive resource allocation model was formulated which jointly optimized cluster head selection, local base station (BS) consensus access selection, spectrum and computation consensus resources allocation, in order to maximize transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Moreover, a digital twin edge networks empowered two-layered proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm was designed to obtain the optimal solutions.Numerical results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Meanwhile, it can well adapt to the mapping errors.

Key words: digital twin edge network, blockchain sharding, PPO
