Abstract

Currently, blockchain-based public cryptocurrency (hereinafter referred to as cryptocurrency) cannot acquire status as a currency for transaction due to the economic policies of each country, but it is used as an alternative currency transaction method due to individual circumstances of some Internet users. With this trend, it is predicted that such cryptocurrency can be used in real life beyond the Internet in the near future. In this paper, a technical method for designing a cryptocurrency payment system based on LoRaWAN that can easily build a wireless Internet network infrastructure at low cost as a way to activate the use of cryptocurrency in real life is presented based on the LoRaWAN standard.

현재 블록체인을 기반한 공개형 암호화폐(이하 암호화폐)는 각국의 경제정책으로 거래를 위한 통화로써 지위를 얻을 수 없지만, 일부 인터넷 사용자들의 각자 사정으로 인해 대체 통화 거래수단으로 사용되고 있다. 이런 추세로 근미래에는 이러한 암호화폐가 인터넷을 넘어 실생활에서도 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각되지만, 현재 인터넷 네트워크 인프라가 빈약한 곳에서 암호화폐가 실생활에 사용하기 어려워 이에 대한 대비책 마련이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실생활에서도 암호화폐 사용을 활성화하려는 방법으로 무선 인터넷 네트워크 인프라를 저비용으로 쉽게 구축할 수 있는 LoRaWAN을 기반으로 한 암호화폐 결제 시스템을 설계하기 위한 기술적 방법을 LoRaWAN 표준을 근거로 제시한다.
