“…Blockchain technology would help monitor SLAs and improve service trust in cloud computing [57], [75], [76]. Similar solutions may be found in fog computing [77], edge computing [78], and 5G, 6G networks [79], [80]. Viewing the blockchain as a trusted ledger that records all service attributes, a blockchain-based service recommendation system [81] and an auditing solution to protect 5G consumer data [82] are prominent.…”

The future of communication systems is undergoing a transformative shift towards intelligence, efficiency, and flexibility. Presently, the amalgamation of blockchain technology and the sixth-generation mobile communication network (6G) has garnered significant attention, as their fusion is poised to profoundly impact the digital economy and society at large. However, the convergence of blockchain and 6G networks poses challenges pertaining to security and performance. In this article, we propose an approach based on the design of secure mechanisms and performance optimization to delve into the key issues surrounding the integration of blockchain and 6G networks from both security and performance perspectives. Specifically, we first introduce the application scenarios of 6G networks and blockchain’s empowerment of them to highlight the necessity of combining blockchain technology with 6G. Subsequently, in order to ensure the security of communication and data transmission between blockchain and 6G networks, we have investigated the design requirements for security mechanisms. Furthermore, we discuss the efficient realization of the amalgamation between blockchain and 6G networks by proposing a solution based on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for blockchain’s asynchronous consensus protocol, alongside optimization strategies for storage and communication to meet the desired characteristics and requirements of 6G networks. Lastly, we provide valuable research directions that serve as references and guidance for the future development of the integration between blockchain and 6G networks.

The present research employs bibliometric analysis to investigate past and current trends in research and forecast potential areas of research in Metaverse Literatures within the Asia-Pacific region. The bibliometric method was utilized to gather a total of 571 academic publications from the Web of Science database in this study. This research employs co-citation and co-word analyses to identify the most impactful publications, explicate the knowledge framework, and predict emerging trends. The analysis of co-citation revealed the presence of four primary clusters, whereas the analysis of co-word identified three clusters. The significance of Metaverse Literatures research is on the rise in the Asia-Pacific region; however, further investigation is required to furnish a more comprehensive perspective of the research landscape. This study essentially illuminates the research on metaverse and offers a perspective on the prospective future advancement of the domain in the Asia-Pacific regions. This study is distinctive in that it represents the initial attempt to construct a knowledge structure of metaverse in the Asia-Pacific region by means of a science mapping technique.
