Abstract:
Internet of things (IoT) has made human life simpler through its
numerous applications by interconnecting various devices and people together in a heterogeneous network. The number of users
associated with IoT in different sectors such as media, intelligent
transportation, and healthcare are increasing rapidly, therefore
generating a large amount of data each day. Because of this, maintaining quality in the network has become an important aspect
for end-to-end data delivery. Software defined networking thus
provides flexibility and programmability to the network due to
its global approach of network management. To adapt with the
dynamic nature of QoS, blockchain technique with its encryption
mechanism and distributed consensus algorithm can be deployed
on SDN. In this paper, we propose the use of blockchain technology
in Software-Defined Internet of Things to deliver high QoS at a low
price.
