6G wireless networks improve on 5G by further increasing reliability, speeding up the networks and increasing the available bandwidth. These evolutionary enhancements, together with a number of revolutionary improvements such as highprecision 3D localization, ultra-high reliability and extreme mobility, introduce a new generation of 6G-native applications. Such application can be based on, for example, distributed, ubiquitous Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ultra-reliable, low-latency Internet of Things (IoT). Along with the enhanced connectivity and novel applications, privacy and security of the networks and the applications must be ensured. Distributed ledger technologies such as blockchain provide one solution for application security and privacy, but introduce their own set of security and privacy risks. In this work, we discuss the opportunities and challenges related to blockchain usage in 6G, and map out possible directions for overtaking the challenges.

Until now, every evolution of communication standard was driven by the need for providing high-speed connectivity to the end-user. However, 5G marks a radical shift from this focus as 5G and beyond networks are being designed to be future-proof by catering to diverse requirements of several use cases. These requirements include Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications, Massive Machine-Type Communications and Enhanced Mobile Broadband. To realize such features in 5G and beyond, there is a need to rethink how current cellular networks are deployed because designing new radio access technologies and utilizing the new spectrum are not enough. Several technologies, such as software-defined networking, network function virtualization, machine learning and cloud computing, are being integrated into the 5G networks to fulfil the need for diverse requirements. These technologies, however, give rise to several challenges associated with decentralization, transparency, interoperability, privacy and security. To address these issues, Blockchain has emerged as a potential solution due to its capabilities such as transparency, data encryption, auditability, immutability and distributed architecture. In this paper, we review the state-of-art application of Blockchain in 5G network and explore how it can facilitate enabling technologies of 5G and beyond to enable various services at the front-haul, edge and the core. Based on the review, we present a taxonomy of Blockchain application in 5G networks and discuss several issues that can be solved using Blockchain integration. We then present various field-trials and Proof of concept that are using Blockchain to address the challenges faced in the current 5G deployment. Finally, we discuss various challenges that need to be addressed to realize the full potential of Blockchain in beyond 5G networks. The survey presents a broad range of ideas related to Blockchain integration in 5G and beyond networks that address issues such as interoperability, security, mobility, resource allocation, resource sharing and management, energy efficiency and other desirable features.

“…Os resultados do artigo mostram que a corrente de blocos fornece a privacidade e proteção de dados necessários para proteger registros médicos em um ambiente sem confiança. Rawat et al propõem uma solução baseada em corrente de blocos para redes sem fio virtuais que permite a confiança em provedores de nuvem [Rawat and Alshaikhi 2018]. Rosa e Rothemberg fornecem diretrizes para incorporar os aplicativos distribuídos baseados em corrente de blocos em cenários com múltiplos domínios administrativos [Rosa and Rothenberg 2018].…”

As tecnologias de fatiamento da rede (Network Slicing), virtualização de funções de rede (Network Function Virtualization - NFV) e redes definidas por software (Software-Defined Networking - SDN) proveem serviços fim-a-fim ágeis e sob demanda. A identificação de uma função virtual defeituosa torna-se obrigatória, pois serviços alocam recursos em um ambiente distribuído e sem confiança entre os pares composto por múltiplos inquilinos e provedores de serviço concorrentes. Este artigo propõe e desenvolve uma arquitetura baseada em correntes de blocos para prover auditabilidade às operações de orquestração de fatias de rede. Um protótipo de um caso de uso foi desenvolvido e implementado utilizando a plataforma Hyperledger Fabric na qual cada fatia de rede opera sobre um canal isolado. Os resultados mostram que é possível prover segurança à criação de fatias de rede, mas que a obtenção de consenso e o número de transações requeridas pelas fatias de rede são um grande desafio.
