Secure Drone Communication with 6G Networks Using Blockchain Technology
Data collection and processing in 6G-enabled industrial contexts take place in IoT-connected settings, which could result in rapid data transfers among the billions of linked items. Several industries have found use for drones, including healthcare, urban surveillance, smart grid monitoring, and border security. We need communication networks that can keep up with the exponential growth of drones. A huge reason for concern is the lack of control over the landing spots of products during drone deliveries. Current protocols may not work for future uses requiring decentralized data storage and retrieval control due to their reliance on a centralised design. For certain programs, you'll need a powerful computer, a stable Internet connection, and a fast data transfer rate. This study recommends a Data Storage System for Drones (DSSD) which is based on blockchain technology and driven by AI to improve network speed, privacy, and security, decrease storage costs, and increase data collecting. When developing blockchain-based solutions, it is important to take into account the current legal environment, potential future obstacles, and unanswered questions that can direct further study. Findings demonstrate that 6G and Blockchain have tremendous promise for expanding drone applications throughout numerous fields; furthermore, they demonstrate that storage analysis can achieve a higher extent of 96.5% while decreasing prices, boosting connections, and enhancing performance. Next, the proposed paradigm is applied to a healthcare-related case study.
