| description | Recently researchers and companies have shown significant interest in merging blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a safe, reliable, and resilient communication platform. However, determining the proper role of blockchain in existing IoT contexts with minimum implications is a challenge. This work suggests a message schedule for a blockchain-based architecture with two access-level setting filters for incoming messages: critical and non-critical. The proposed work of the researchers divides the fog layer into two parts: action clusters and blockchain fog clusters. Similar to the three-layered IoT architecture, the action cluster and the main cloud data center work together for critical message requests. The blockchain fog cluster is dedicated to only the blockchain application’s requirements. In the fog layer, a fog broker is used to schedule critical and non-critical messages in the action and blockchain fog clusters, respectively. The proposed technique is compared to the existing Dual Fog-IoT architecture. The solution is also tested for fog and cloud computing resource utilization. The findings demonstrate that this architecture is feasible for varying percentages of receiving critical and non-critical messages. In addition to the inherent benefits of blockchain, the suggested paradigm reduces the system loss rate and offloads the cloud data center with minimal changes to the existing IoT ecosystem. |
