移动边缘计算正成为在移动网络边缘提供计算能力的主要趋势。同时，无人驾驶汽车（UAV）被认为是非常重要的集成组件，可以扩展服务覆盖范围。为了为用户提供更高和满意的服务质量，需要在移动网络中的边缘计算站（ECS）和无人机之间分配边缘计算资源。但是，由于ECS和无人机的开放环境，存在重大安全性和隐私问题。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于Stackelberg Dynamic Game的资源定价和交易方案，以最佳的方式分配ECS和无人机之间的边缘计算资源，并应用区块链技术来记录整个资源交易过程以保护安全性和隐私。 ECSS控制了分配的边缘计算资源的资源价格，在该资源遵循ECSS宣布的价格，并对Edge Computing资源要求做出最佳决策。区块链已集成到资源交易过程中，以确保安全性和隐私。给出数值模拟以显示拟议方案的有效性。
Mobile edge computing is becoming a major trend in providing computation capacities at the edge of mobile networks. Meanwhile, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been considered as distinctly important integrated components to extend services coverage. In order to provide users with higher and satisfied quality of services, edge computing resources need to be allocated between edge computing stations (ECSs) and UAVs in mobile networks. However, there are significant security and privacy problems due to the open environments of ECSs and UAVs. In this paper, we propose a resource pricing and trading scheme based on Stackelberg dynamic game to optimally allocate edge computing resources between ECSs and UAVs, and blockchain technology is applied to record the entire resources trading process to protect the security and privacy. The ECSs control the resources price of the allocated edge computing resources, where the UAVs follow the price announced by the ECSs and make optimal decisions on the edge computing resources demands. Blockchain is integrated in the resource trading process to ensure the security and privacy. Numerical simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
