Abstract
Internet of things (IoT) and mobile edge computing (MEC) technology are ushering in a new dawn in industrial business process automation. It facilitates controlling and monitoring objects of interest to revolutionize how humans interact with the physical world. The digital content wave has proliferated industrial applications (e.g., manufacturing, supply chain management, and healthcare). In addition, with the rise of massive IoT and automation, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have emerged as prominent players in driving a range of applications. Sixth generation (6G) networks support enhanced holographic projection through terahertz (THz) bandwidths, ultra-low latency, and massive device connectivity. However, the data exchanges between autonomous networks over untrusted channels. Thus, blockchain (BC) opens new dimensions towards intelligent resource management, user access control, audibility, and chronology in stored transactions to ensure data security, privacy, and stakeholder trust.
