The network function virtualization (NFV) feature lies at the core of modern networking, and it allows on-demand real-time integration of new network functions, which is a great benefit for large-scale infrastructure networks. In contrast to the functional benefits, NFV introduces software complexity and computational overhead through additional abstraction layers. The current article addresses the function validation problem in large-scale infrastructure networks of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and proposes the utilization of blockchain as a validation technology, as opposed to implementing a custom validation solution. The current work showcases a practical architecture implementation to address the service validation in service provider large-scale networks. The POX-based solution to control software-defined networks (SDN) for NFV is extended to offer additional blockchain capabilities. Thus, a blockchain node is integrated and executed in the POX SDN controller. Transaction experiments are performed between two endpoints located in remote locations on the Internet, and the detailed results are presented to validate the utilization of the blockchain technology used on SDNs’ control plane.

“…To achieve the goal of uHDD, mMTC, and uHSLLC services, blockchain technology can offer features like cross-device interoperability, traceability of massive data, autonomous interconnections between different connected devices, as well as dependability for massive connectivity of 6G networks. By providing better security, confidence, autonomy, traceability, coordination, and decision-making, blockchain, on the other hand, also can help the SDUAV systems [197], [198]. By using blockchain, it is possible to secure the information exchanged between UAVs and SDN controllers while avoiding unwanted access to 6G networks from attackers.…”

The ever-increasing demand for wireless communication has driven the development of innovative technologies to address the issues that conventional communication networks meet. To support autonomous devices in the sixth-generation (6G) and provide seamless wireless connectivity in inaccessible and hard-to-reach areas, the combination of software-defined networking (SDN) with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has already shown promises. As the traditional UAV-based cellular network encompasses challenges such as lack of centralized supervision, robust decision-making ability, and dynamic network management, the SDN platform could be an excellent alternative to offer aerial networking for future 6G ecosystem. However, the SDN-assisted UAV paradigm faces a set of challenges and critical issues. For instance, the network management and orchestration, resource allocation and optimization, handover mechanism, spectrum management, energy efficiency, integration of heterogeneous networks, and reliability, thus causing the decrease of quality of services of the SDN-enables UAV networks. To effectively address all these issues and identify the trends of software-defined UAV (SDUAV) networks, more research activities are needed. Unfortunately, there are not any specific guidelines in the literature that address each of these requirements, enabling technologies, emerging techniques, and future research directions in the context of SDN-based UAV networks to enable next-generation 6G systems. Therefore, motivated by this fact, this paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of the state of the SDUAV network and architecture, highlighting its various requirements and different prospects and applications in 6G systems. Besides, this paper also addresses why the combination of SDN and UAV-enabled networks is becoming essential in the 6G networking context and how it can offer more flexibility, scalability, reliability, and efficient connectivity than the conventional approaches to provide features like intelligence, automation, programmability, and centralized controllability. This paper furthermore outlines the difficulties of implementing SDUAV networks, such as security, adaptability, interference management, interoperability, and lack of standardization. Finally, to accomplish the goals, this article provides a roadmap for future trends and research directions in SDUAV networks to support the 6G systems.INDEX TERMS 6G, aerial base station, SDN, SDUAV, UAV-based cellular network. I. INTRODUCTIONThe growing trend of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), automated vehicles, electronic health (e-health), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Industry 4.0, is culminating a massive amount of data every day [1]. Recently, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) estimates that traffic volume will be 5016 EB/month, with traffic volume per person reaching 257.1 GB/month [2]. As a result, there will be 97 billion machine-to-machine (M...
