With the large-scale commercial deployment of 5G network, more and more new applications and services are emerged. These new applications and services put forward higher requirements on the network key performance indicators, which is one or two order of the magnitude of 5G performance. To provide users the Tbps level user experience data rate everywhere, traditional multi-connectivity scheme may not work well especially in the initial 6G network deployment stage. To solve this problem, we proposed a blockchain enabled UE-assisted multi-connectivity solution in this work including the architecture and implementation procedure. In addition to being used for improving the network connectivity, this solution can also be used to facilitate resource sharing among the untrusted nodes, including the computing power resources, storage resources, electric power, useful information, etc. The simulation proved the performance of the proposed scheme in the final part of the work.
