US 2019/0158674 A1 · DISTRIBUTED LEDGER SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT AND TRACKING OF EXCHANGES OF WIRELESS SERVICES BETWEEN WIRELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to using distributed ledger architectures to for exchange of wireless communication services. In one example, a distributed ledger system for facilitating an exchange among wireless service providers includes a plurality of wireless service providers and a plurality of nodes. Each of the plurality of nodes is configured to facilitate an exchange between a first wireless service provider and a second wireless service provider for roaming services; generate a recording of terms and conditions of the exchange between the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider to yield an agreement; record the agreement on the distributed ledger system; facilitate independent evaluation of performance parameters of the exchange by each of the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider to independently evaluate performance parameters of the exchange; and trigger settlement for the exchange based on the independent evaluation of the performance parameters by the first and second wireless service providers.

Dependent claims

A distributed ledger system for facilitating an exchange among wireless service providers, the distributed ledger system comprising:

a plurality of wireless service providers, each wireless service provider being one of a home wireless network provider having a corresponding number of end users or a visited wireless network provider having wireless communication capacities for one or more of the end users to roam on;
and
a plurality of nodes, each of which is associated with one or more of the plurality of wireless service providers, each of the plurality of nodes being configured to:
facilitate an exchange between at least a first wireless service provider and a second wireless service provider for roaming services;
generate a recording of terms and conditions of the exchange between the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider to yield an agreement;
record the agreement on the distributed ledger system;
facilitate independent evaluation of performance parameters of the exchange by each of the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider;
and
trigger milestone or total settlement for the exchange based on the independent evaluation of the performance parameters by the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to provide a distributed ledger platform for automating service exchanges between two or more of a plurality of wireless service providers by:

facilitating an exchange between at least a first wireless service provider and a second wireless service provider for roaming services;
generating a recording of terms and conditions of the exchange between the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider to yield an agreement;
recording the agreement on the distributed ledger system;
facilitating independent evaluation of performance parameters of the exchange by each of the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider to independently evaluate performance parameters of the exchange;
and
triggering milestone or total settlement for the exchange based on the independent evaluation of the performance parameters by the first wireless service provider and the second wireless service provider.
