abstract = {Dynamic dual-hop relaying network topologies that enable access to end-users through intermediate individual and commercial, static as well as moving, infrastructures are expected to become fundamental pillars of the sixth-generation wireless systems. Their main requirement is to ensure end-users information privacy. Motivated by this, the current contribution focuses on introducing a dual-hop blockchain radio access network (DH-BRAN) topology for dynamic coverage expansion. To analyze the performance of this topology, we present the theoretical framework that captures its characteristics. Building upon it, the DH-BRAN performance, in terms of latency and waiting probability, is quantified. Our results reveal that DR-BRAN can be employed in several realistic use-cases and that there exists a trade-off between latency and security.},
