【Abstract】Blockchain and cloud-edge computing techniques are promising technologies for next-generation, secure, and privacy-preserving data-sharing systems. By integrating these technologies, the data demands of many data users, such as research institutes, hospitals, manufacturers, etc., can be met. Despite this promising integration, it is yet to be understood how the vulnerability and uncertainties of wireless communication links between the data producers, blockchain systems, cloud-edge computing-based platforms, and data users, as well as unstable validation parameters can affect the overall performance of such blockchain-enabled data-sharing systems. In this article, we considered a collaborative data-sharing scheme, where multiple data providers and data users collaborate to accomplish data-sharing tasks through the proposed blockchain and cloud-edge computing schemes. We considered the spatial distribution of data providers and data users to follow the independent homogeneous Poisson point process, while the transactions generation rate at each node was also modeled using an independent Bernoulli process. We then obtained analyses for some selected performance metrics of interest and evaluate the performance of the system. The obtained results showed that the proposed analyses can be useful in investigating the performance of any blockchain-enabled data-sharing system. This will aid successful deployments of effective data-sharing systems.
