How is the Reward Distribution Mechanism structured?

The reward distribution mechanism is meticulously structured to ensure fairness and accuracy in the allocation of rewards. The process involves several key steps:

• Actual Reward Calculation: The algorithm calculates actual rewards based on a station's performance for the previous day. This calculation takes into account factors such as Proof-of-Location (PoL) score, Quality-of-Data (QoD) score, Hardware-Class (HC), and Cell-Capacity (CP).
• Max Daily Reward per Hardware Class (MRPHC): Stations are categorized into hardware classes, and the algorithm calculates the maximum daily reward for each class based on their weights and the overall daily emission.
• Reward Score and Actual Reward: The reward_score, derived from PoL and QoD scores, is multiplied by the max_daily_reward for the hardware class, determining the actual reward for a station.
• Identification of Overcrowded Cells: To prevent overcrowding, the mechanism identifies and excludes stations in cells exceeding their capacity. The exclusion is based on the reward_score and seniority of stations within the cell.

This structured approach ensures that rewards are distributed fairly, considering both individual station performance and the overall capacity of network cells.
