A Systematic Review on the Integration of Blockchain, 5G, and Green Computing

Abstract

The present research combines Blockchain, 5G, and Green Computing to create secure, energy-efficient, and sustainable digital environments through a careful investigation and simulation-based analysis. Using the PRISMA approach, we choose 67 of the initial 312 papers that were related to our research. We choose these studies because they were related to our research. We created a multi-objective optimization model: f(x) = αC(x) + βE(x) + γL(x). By using this strategy, they keep our expenses, energy use, and latency low while also keeping safety and flexibility high. We were able to simulate the mixed architecture that was demonstrated in MATLAB and NS-3 by using evidence-of-stake and PBFT consensus approaches, edge computing, and ecologic routing. The results indicate that these systems have 37% less latency, 24% more energy efficiency, and 18% less carbon emissions than systems that simply use 5G. The results show that using these three in combination helps to build solid basis for Internet of Things, medical facilities, and smart towns. This, in turn, leads to the building of facilities that are not just incredibly effective but also last for a very long period. The structure also sets the stage for Industry 5.0, that will lead to greater research in areas like quantum-proof Bitcoin, artificial intelligence-based control, and sustainability made feasible by 6G infrastructure.
