Abstract
The emergence of sixth-generation (6 G) wireless networks introduces transformative capabilities such as ultra-low latency, massive device connectivity, and real-time intelligent services. However, the inherently distributed and heterogeneous architecture of 6 G significantly escalates vulnerabilities to cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches across large-scale decentralized infrastructures. Existing security mechanisms are inadequate in modeling complex multi-relational interactions among network entities and often fail to ensure trust, transparency, and tamper-resistance at scale. To address these challenges, this research proposes a novel Blockchain-Enabled 6 G Wireless Network Security framework integrating Multi-Relational Graph Attention and Disentangled Cascaded Graph Convolution Network (Multi-RACG) model. This hybrid graph-based model captures high-order relational dependencies while disentangling semantic features across graph channels to enable precise, context-aware intrusion detection. A Dandelion Optimization Algorithm (DOA) is employed to fine-tune model parameters and optimize network architecture, ensuring rapid convergence and reduced computational overhead. Additionally, a Proof-of-Work-Based Weighted Mining (PoWBWM) consensus protocol strengthens blockchain operations by incorporating dynamic trust metrics, enhancing data integrity and resilience against malicious manipulation. Experimental results demonstrate the framework's superiority, achieving 99.9 % detection accuracy with minimal false positives and computational loss, positioning it as a highly scalable and intelligent security solution for future 6 G ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency.
Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
