Abstract: With the rise of information-centric networks (ICN), the user can access the caching content from nearby caching nodes rather than the remote content server through in-network caching facilities. The existing articles did not look into minimum caching content retrieval latency, user energy consumption, user financial cost, and maximum service provider profit-aware proper resource orchestration and job scheduling policies all at once, taking into account multiple publishers and subscriber-based caching jobs, blockchain, user-owned and service provider cache, pre-caching, neighbor collaboration, and available resources. To suppress these challenges, this article offers a proactive pre-caching, collaboration, blockchain, minimum latency-aware resource, and job scheduling policy for 6G ICN services that takes into account publishers’ and subscribers’ caching job requests, user-owned and service provider cache, available resources, and deadline. The experimental results visualized that at least 16% content retrieval delay, 66% energy, and 22% service provider profit gain are attained in the proposed scheme over the existing techniques.
