Managing Computation Load on a Blockchain – based Multi – Layered Internet – of – Things Network

Abstract

This paper proposes optimization mechanisms for a multi – layered IoT network model, backed up by Blockchain Technology. This paper focuses on optimizing the computational load such that the model can meet the feasible conditions for deployment purpose. Though, dividing the IoT network into multiple layers reduces the computational load at each stage, the load split isn’t quite proportional to the amount of work done at each level. Flexibility to monitor computational load at each level and distribute the workload has been introduced at each level.
