Abstract

This paper examines how wireless communication affects the performance of various blockchain consensus mechanisms, focusing on their scalability and decentralization. It introduces an analytical framework for quantifying these effects, backed by extensive simulations, underscoring its broad applicability to various consensus mechanisms despite wireless communication's unreliability.
