This is a data descriptor paper for a set of the battery output data measurements during the turned on display discharge process caused by the execution of modern mobile blockchain projects on Android devices. The measurements were executed for Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Activity (PoA) consensus algorithms. In this descriptor, we give examples of Samsung Galaxy S9 operation while a broader range of measurements is available in the dataset. Examples provide the data about battery output current, output voltage, temperature, and status. We also show the measurements obtained utilizing short-range (IEEE 802.11n) and cellular (LTE) networks. This paper describes the proposed dataset and the method employed to gather the data. To provide a further understanding of the dataset’s nature, an analysis of the collected data is also briefly presented. This dataset may be of interest to both researchers from information security and human–computer interaction fields and industrial distributed ledger/blockchain developers.

“…On the other hand, to address the issues of allocation transparency, resource diversion, etc., it becomes imperative to have a document for providing an unchallengeable and globally accessible record of relief requirement vis-àvis allocation for efficient relief management. Several emergency response organizations and researchers have proposed [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] the adoption of blockchain technology [15,16] to create such a shared and unchallengeable document of records. However, the usage of blockchain is restricted by the availability of end-to-end internet connection which, as mentioned earlier, may not be available in a post-disaster scenario.…”

One of the major concerns in any emergency relief operation is appropriate allocation of scarce emergency relief materials to the affected community. Due to several reasons ranging from lack of mechanism to accurately assess demand and utility of relief materials to malicious participation of some of the stakeholders, such allocation may become ad-hoc. Thus, it becomes imperative to have an unchallengeable and globally accessible record of relief requirement vis-à-vis allocation for efficient relief management. Emergency response organizations (e.g. UNICEF) have recommended the adoption of blockchain technology to create such immutable records. However, the usage of blockchain is restricted by the availability of end-to-end internet connection which may not be available in a post-disaster scenario. This paper proposes ReliefChain, a blockchain leveraged post disaster relief allocation system over delay tolerant network that works in such environments. We validate relief requirements to mitigate resource diversion, forecasting the exact demand and enumerating precise utilities of relief items. We design smart contracts for creating new transactions to upload relief requirements and allocations in the blockchain network. The proposed system executes these smart contracts to create an immutable and globally accessible record of relief requirement and allocation. Effectiveness of the proposed system is evaluated through extensive simulation in Ethereum platform. Results substantiate the efficiency of the system over a system using baseline methodologies, in terms of design parameters like shelter specific deficit and average resource deficit while not compromising the blockchain performance in terms of processing time and gas consumption even in presence of malicious forwarders.

Global climate change has led to a steep rise in natural disasters. In these times, it is essential to provide emergency last-mile delivery to disaster-affected populations using connected delivery trucks; however, this gives rise to several challenges. There is an unpredictable demand for resources and the need for fault-tolerant path planning in case the trucks are subjected to attack or breakdowns. Resources must be tracked prevent theft and maldistribution. To achieve these objectives, we use a hybrid UAV-Truck architecture for last-mile relief distribution. To increase the delivery operation's robustness, we propose a Self-Optimizing StreamChain (SOSChain) that tracks and controls the status of trucks and their onboard resources. During failure scenarios, the use of information in the SOSChain enables other vehicles to optimally re-route and redistribute resources from damaged vehicles. Extensive simulation shows that SOSChain achieves over 25% improvement in throughput and up to 50% reduction in ordering latency compared to StreamChain approach in a simulated disaster environment with up to 50% vehicle failure rate.
