Abstract

With the popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the development of the network technology, the UAV network has become a new research hotspot. However, due to various factors such as terrain, transmission distance, and hacker attacks, UAV network needs to reconstruct the network architecture and restore data according to the actual situation. The blockchain technology can be applied to the UAV network for its high reliability and distributed characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes a blockchain-based adaptive reconstruction technology framework for UAV networks. Also, to solve possible data damage or missing problems in UAV networks, a data recovery and update approach as well as the corresponding algorithms are given. Furthermore, this paper uses the blockchain to record the behavior of the UAV nodes in the UAV network, and proposes an algorithm to check whether the UAV is malicious or malfunctioning. So that the ground control station (GCS) can reconstruct the UAV network communication link.
