Game Theory and Decentralized Blockchain Technology Enabled for Secure and Reliable Routing in MANETs in 6G Environments

Sixth-generation networks are the latest generation of mobile networks that are expected to bring significant improvements in data speed, capacity and security. The nature of 6G and MANET networks allows different types of devices and their users to be connected, reducing the security, reliability and robustness of the network. Various solutions have been proposed and implemented to enhance security in mobile networks within 6G and 5G networks. In this paper, we propose a model for secure routing in MANET networks based on game theory and decentralized blockchain technology. The obtained simulation results of secure routing have been analyzed in terms of Quality of Service parameters. The obtained results show that routing based on game theory and decentralized blockchain technology in MANET networks achieves promising results in terms of security and efficiency, and has the potential to replace reactive and proactive routing protocols in MANET when 6G networks are deployed.
