Many emerging wireless applications are based on unique requirements such as edge data processing, distributed trust, and automation, which can be provided and enabled by blockchain technology through decentralization, transaction accountability, and smart contract-based automation. This article discusses opportunities and challenges of such blockchain-enabled wireless applications. First, blockchain technology and 5G system architecture are briefly reviewed. Then, an example wireless application use case is presented to illustrate the benefits that blockchain technology can bring to wireless applications. A set of pending research issues addressing some of the challenges faced by blockchain-enabled wireless applications is introduced. As a potential solution, a wireless blockchain middleware architecture (BlockWare) is proposed, based on a blockchain middleware layer connecting wireless applications and underlying blockchain infrastructure. The blockchain middleware layer interacts with various types of blockchain systems on behalf of different wireless applications. Thus, a wireless application does not need to implement complex blockchain functions, rather relying on the blockchain middleware layer and its services to leverage various underlying blockchain systems. This article also points out several research directions for future study, such as inter-blockchain interactions and interoperability, efficient blockchain transaction management, and blockchain-based messaging in future wireless systems such as 5G, beyond 5G, and 6G.

下一代无线系统中启用了区块链的应用程序:挑战与机遇

许多新兴的无线应用基于边缘数据处理,分布式信任和自动化等独特需求,可以通过区块链技术通过分散,交易责任和基于智能合约的自动化来提供和启用。本文讨论了这种启用了区块链的无线应用程序的机遇和挑战。首先,简要回顾一下区块链技术和5G系统架构。然后,提供了一个示例无线应用程序用例,以说明区块链技术可以为无线应用程序带来的好处。介绍了一系列悬而未决的研究问题,这些问题解决了启用区块链的无线应用程序所面临的一些挑战。作为一种潜在的解决方案,提出了一种无线区块链中间件架构(BlockWare),基于连接无线应用程序和底层区块链基础架构的区块链中间件层。区块链中间件层代表不同的无线应用程序与各种类型的区块链系统进行交互。因此,无线应用程序不需要实现复杂的区块链功能,而是依靠区块链中间件层及其服务来利用各种底层的区块链系统。本文还指出了未来研究的几个研究方向,例如区块链之间的交互和互操作性,有效的区块链交易管理以及未来无线系统(如5G,5G和6G)中基于区块链的消息传递。区块链中间件层代表不同的无线应用程序与各种类型的区块链系统进行交互。因此,无线应用程序不需要实现复杂的区块链功能,而是依靠区块链中间件层及其服务来利用各种底层的区块链系统。本文还指出了未来研究的几个研究方向,例如区块链之间的交互和互操作性,有效的区块链交易管理以及未来无线系统(如5G,5G和6G)中基于区块链的消息传递。区块链中间件层代表不同的无线应用程序与各种类型的区块链系统进行交互。因此,无线应用程序不需要实现复杂的区块链功能,而是依靠区块链中间件层及其服务来利用各种底层的区块链系统。本文还指出了未来研究的几个研究方向,例如区块链之间的交互和互操作性,有效的区块链交易管理以及未来无线系统(如5G,5G和6G)中基于区块链的消息传递。而是依靠区块链中间件层及其服务来利用各种底层的区块链系统。本文还指出了未来研究的几个研究方向,例如区块链之间的交互和互操作性,有效的区块链交易管理以及未来无线系统(如5G,5G和6G)中基于区块链的消息传递。而是依靠区块链中间件层及其服务来利用各种底层的区块链系统。本文还指出了未来研究的几个研究方向,例如区块链之间的交互和互操作性,有效的区块链交易管理以及未来无线系统(如5G,5G和6G)中基于区块链的消息传递。
