Coalition Game and Blockchain-Based Optimal Data Pricing Scheme for Ride Sharing Beyond 5G

Abstract

This article proposes a blockchain and coalition game theory-based secure and reliable optimal data pricing scheme for ride sharing. It mainly focuses on securing data sharing between vehicle owners and customers. It employs beyond fifth-generation (5G) as a communication network that facilitates vehicle owners and customers with low latency, high throughput, and high availability for communication. We also formulate a coalition game-theory approach to optimize the payoff of vehicle owners and customers by forming coalitions. The performance of the proposed system beyond 5G is estimated by comparing it with 5G and LTE-A networks. The various performance parameters considered are network latency, throughput, and profit for vehicle owners. The performance results show that the proposed system is efficient and beneficial for both vehicle owners and customers in terms of low latency, high throughput, and profit.
