技术领域

区块链是一种带有数据“散列验证”功能的数据库。区块可以认为是数据块，区块链技术就是按照时间顺序将数据区块组合成一种链式结构，并利用密码学算法以分布式记账的方式，集体维护数据库的可靠性。所有数据块按照时间顺序相连，形成区块链。
区块链独特的共识和智能契约机制，为分散网络多方可信带来新机遇，成为未来通信网络中潜在的候选技术。例如，未来第六代(6th generation，6G)通信系统具有超大规模接入和分散组网模式，快速互信、有效记录以及回顾网络行为和运营数据是必然要求，区块链技术有可能满足上述要求。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供一种区块链信息的传输方法及装置，以期提高在通信网络中的应用区块链技术的可能性和成熟度。其中，方法和装置是基于相同或相似技术构思的，由于方 法及装置解决问题的原理相似，因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
本申请实施例的描述中，“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。本申请中所涉及的至少一个是指一个或多个；多个，是指两个或两个以上。另外，需要理解的是，在本申请的描述中，“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等词汇，仅用于区分描述的目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性，也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
本申请实施例提供的区块链信息的传输方法可以应用于第四代(4th generation，4G)通信系统，例如长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)，也可以应用于第五代(5th generation，5G)通信系统，例如5G新空口(new radio，NR)，也可以应用于未来演进的各种通信系统，例如第六代(6th generation，6G)通信系统、或者空天海地一体化通信系统。其中，6G通信网络在空间上由空天地海组成，在角色构成上由多个成员(players)组成，实际网络载体由卫星网络、无人机等中低空平台、蜂窝网络、车联网、物联网(internet of thing，IoT)网络、水面及水下网络组成。本申请实施例以应用于6G通信网络为例进行说明，可以理解的是本申请实施例还可以应用于其它通信系统。
6G通信网络跨行业、多players深度参与，而非局限于单个运营商内的特征，这决定了6G通信网络需要一个多方互信的机制和平台，6G超大规模接入、去中心化组网模式下，快速实现互信、有效记录网络行为/操作数据并进行审核，是必然的需求。区块链技术本质上改变了人类社会的信任逻辑，可以很好满足6G通信网络这方面的需求。6G超大规模接入和分散组网模式，快速互信、有效记录和回顾网络行为和运营数据是必然要求。目前区块链技术最有可能满足上述安全需求。因此在通信网络中引入区块链技术可以为通信网络带来更多的安全保障手段和更灵活的安全机制。
区块链是一种将数据以区块(或块)为单位产生和存储，并按照时间顺序连成链式(或链)数据结构。所有节点共同参与区块链系统的数据验证、存储和维护。新区块的创建需得到共识确认，并向各节点广播实现全网同步，之后就不能更改或删除。作为一种去中心化分布式账本，其独特的共识和智能合约机制，为去中心化网络中的多方联合类的网络可信能力带来新的机会。区块链是一种综合了密码学技术、对等(P2P)网络、分布式数据库等多种技术的分布式账本。区块链类型包括公有链、联盟链或私有链，链的结构上又可分为主链、主链+侧链、或多条平行链，不同类型和结构的区块链可以对应不同的共识算法、激励机制、或合约。每种组合的时延、吞吐量、能耗等指标差异较大。6G通信网络包括多种组网形态和应用场景，不同形态和场景对于区块链的需求各异。
本申请实施例提供一种区块链信息的传输方法，在通信网络使用区块链技术时，以期能够通过传输区块链信息，适应不同组网形态和场景对于区块链的需求。
