“…Through simulations, they demonstrated that their approach outperforms orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) based transmission benchmarks. Finally, the authors in [102] investigated user association strategies to address security issues in an ultra-dense HetNet with a group of colluding eavesdroppers. A zero-sum game was proposed to reflect the conflicting objectives of users and eavesdroppers.…”

Fifth-generation and beyond (5G and xG) wireless networks are envisioned to meet the requirements of various vertical applications that require higher traffic throughput, ultra-massive connectivity, extremely low latency, and high quality of service. Disruptive technologies, such as massive multiple-input multiple-output, millimeter wave, and multiple access are being deployed to meet these requirements. However, the deployment of these technologies poses several challenges, including the lack of network transparency, management decentralization, and reliability. In addition, the heterogeneity of these networks raises security concerns, particularly, confidentiality, privacy, and trustworthiness. Typically, networks rely on encryption techniques at higher layers to ensure security and privacy. However, due to the emergence of novel computing paradigms, such as quantum computing, traditional security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect over-the-air communications. Therefore, 5G/xG networks must consider smarter and more efficient security techniques to operate seamlessly and efficiently. Within this context, physical layer security (PLS) and blockchain represent promising solutions to complement existing methods. By exploiting the characteristics of wireless links, PLS can enhance the security of wireless communications, while blockchain can guarantee the decentralization, integrity, and trustworthiness of networks. Motivated by these technological advancements, this paper provides an in-depth review of the existing literature on PLS and blockchain. Then, for the first time, we present a framework for the integration of PLS with blockchain in 5G/xG systems. We begin by providing a thorough discussion about the potential of PLS and blockchain for 5G/xG systems. Next, we present our vision of a cross-layer architecture that leverages both PLS and blockchain in 5G/xG networks. Finally, we identify related challenges and open issues and shed light on future research directions.

“…HetNet has various different topologies, such as spectrum resource allocation in HetNets can allocate resources intelligently based on network topology, user location, and demand, and has wide applicability in practical applications. For instance, intelligent matching theory is used in [8] to address user access problems in ultra-dense HetNets to boost energy efficiency. Dual decomposition is employed in [9] to allocate small cell frequencies in heterogeneous ultradense networks to improve spectrum efficiency.…”

With the widespread application of the fifth-generation mobile communication system, mobile data traffic has seen rapid growth, bringing new challenges to traditional cellular networks. Ultra-dense networks (UDN) are one of the key technologies used in 5G communication to address user capacity and high-speed transmission. How to effectively solve the problems of inter-site interference, spectrum resource scarcity, and high energy consumption in UDN has become a major research topic, and resource allocation technology is essential in this regard. This article summarizes the spectrum resource allocation methods and applications in UDN through literature review. Firstly, the applicable scenarios, models, and various indicators of resource allocation in UDN are summarized and analyzed. Secondly, this paper systematically sorts and classifies recent research on resource allocation methods for UDNs, analyzing their applicability, advantages, and disadvantages. Additionally, the paper discusses the future development of spectrum resource allocation methods for UDNs.
