未来的通信将以无处不在的连接和安全为特征。这些功能将是未来应用程序有效运行的基本要求。在本文中，为了突出区块链和6 G对未来通信系统的影响，我们将这些应用需求分为两大类。在第一类中，称为需求组I（RG-I），我们包括数据速率，延迟，可靠性和大规模连接的性能相关需求，而在第二类中，称为需求组II（RG-II），我们包括数据完整性，不可否认性和可验证性的安全相关需求。通过区块链和6 G，网络去中心化和资源共享将最大限度地减少资源利用不足，从而促进RG-I目标。此外，通过适当选择区块链类型和共识算法，6 G应用的RG-II需求也可以轻松解决。通过这项研究，区块链和6 G的结合成为安全和无处不在的未来通信的优雅解决方案。
Future communication will be characterized by ubiquitous connectivity and security. These features will be essential requirements for the efficient functioning of futuristic applications. In this article, in order to highlight the impact of blockchain and 6G on future communication systems, we categorize these application requirements into two broad groups. In the first category, called Requirement Group I (RG-I), we include the performance-related needs on data rates, latency, reliability and massive connectivity, while in the second category, called Requirement Group II (RG-II), we include the security-related needs on data integrity, non-repudiability, and auditability. With blockchain and 6G, network decentralization and resource sharing would minimize resource under-utilization, thereby facilitating RG-I targets. Furthermore, through appropriate selection of blockchain type and consensus algorithms, RG-II needs of 6G applications can also be readily addressed. Through this study, the combination of blockchain and 6G emerges as an elegant solution for secure and ubiquitous future communication.
