Abstract
Making a determination regarding consensus using proofs of altitude of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including: receiving a request for a consensus from a pool of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), wherein membership in the pool of UAVs is based on an altitude threshold; sending, to each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a transaction request associated with the request for the consensus; receiving, from each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a corresponding response of a plurality of responses to the transaction request; and generating, based on the plurality of responses, a determination for the consensus.
Claims20
A method for making a determination regarding consensus using proofs of altitude of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a consensus from a pool of UAVs, wherein membership in the pool of UAVs is based on an altitude threshold;
- sending, to each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a transaction request associated with the request for the consensus;
- receiving, from each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a corresponding response of a plurality of responses to the transaction request;
- and
- generating, based on the plurality of responses, a determination for the consensus.
An apparatus for making a determination regarding consensus using proofs of altitude of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions, the instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive a request for a consensus from a pool of UAVs, wherein membership in the pool of UAVs is based on an altitude threshold;
- send, to each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a transaction request associated with the request for the consensus;
- receive, from each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a corresponding response of a plurality of responses to the transaction request;
- and
- generate, based on the plurality of responses, a determination for the consensus.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for making a determination regarding consensus using proofs of altitude of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a request for a consensus from a pool of UAVs, wherein membership in the pool of UAVs is based on an altitude threshold;
- sending, to each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a transaction request associated with the request for the consensus;
- receiving, from each UAV in the pool of UAVs, a corresponding response of a plurality of responses to the transaction request;
- and
- generating, based on the plurality of responses, a determination for the consensus.
