IEEE Internet of Things Journal

Special Issue on Blockchain-enabled Internet of Things

Blockchain, a constantly evolving peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed ledger technology with characteristics such as
decentralization, security, interoperation, and trust establishment, and consequently can potentially lower the costs of
the underpinning infrastructure and maintenance in comparison to conventional centralized systems. Consequently, the
distributed structure of blockchain is naturally suitable for the Internet of Things (IoT), which can be used to build
distributed IoT. Despite the advances made in applying blockchain to IoT in the past few years, a number of challenges
remain to be addressed, including of the poor scalability, heterogeneous IoT Devices, and the impact of integration on
network performance. Hence, the objective of the special section is to compile recent research efforts dedicated to the
study of Blockchain-based IoT and its applications, particularly relating to heterogeneity, security and mobility (in wireless
scenario), new theoretical systems and technical schemes for the Blockchain-based IoT, and so on. This special issue will
provide both academic and industry researchers a forum to present their research on the design, implementation, and
evaluation of systems using the concept of Blockchain-based IoT in a broad range of applications in the wired/wireless
network environment (including 5G/B5G). We also seek to identify new application areas within this developing field,
and strongly encourage original research articles related to this topic, as well as high-quality review articles describing
the current state of the art. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 New network architecture design for blockchain-  Performance metric design, modeling and evaluation
based IoT of blockchain-based IoT
 Consensus algorithm design in the wireless  Communication, cache, network and computing
blockchain-based IoT environment for mobility, optimization in blockchain-based IoT
limited resources and large-scale deployment  Blockchain for wireless IoT/sensor networks
 Protocols for management and access control in  Blockchain-enabled IoT ecosystem and its
blockchain-based IoT applications, e.g., finance, healthcare, energy, supply
 Heterogeneous blockchain-based IoT chain, entertainment, etc.
 Blockchain-based IoT architectures tailored for  Joint deployment of minor nodes and base stations
domain-specific applications in blockchain-based IoT
 Security and privacy of blockchain-based IoT  Experimental prototyping and testbeds for
 Blockchain-based IoT robustness against blockchain-based IoT
