Poster: Trusted Resource Sharing Infrastructure for Decentralized Wireless Community Network

Abstract

Wireless community networks (WCNs) represent bottom-up network infrastructures facing the following challenges: (1) Managing diverse devices, (2) Establishing effective real-time incentives, (3) Addressing anomalies, attacks, and faults, and (4) Ensuring data integrity verification. Inspired by [2], we introduce the decentralized wireless community network (DeWCN) concept, enabling community members to contribute resources to a common resource pool in a verifiable and incentivized manner. Consensus participants, selected from conflict-free network areas, maintain a distributed ledger with partial Byzantine fault tolerance for transparency and protocol automation. By leasing out storage, computing, and bandwidth resources with globally agreed-upon contributions, individuals can receive real-time cost compensation.
