[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the wireless slicing resource system may include a terminal 101, a shared base station 102, and a blockchain-based wireless slicing resource management module 103.

[0038] In this embodiment, terminal 101 can be a 5G terminal, which can be one or more, for example, represented by UE1, UE2, ..., UEn, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1; shared base station 102 can be a 5G shared base station (5G Sharing RAN), which can include a shared AAU (Active Antenna Unit) / RRU (Remote Radio Unit) and a shared BBU (Building Baseband Unit); the wireless slice resource management module 103 includes two blockchains, namely a wireless slice resource request blockchain (hereinafter referred to as the "resource request blockchain") and a wireless slice resource usage blockchain (hereinafter referred to as the "resource usage blockchain").

[0040] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the wireless slice resource management module 103 may further: respond to a resource usage query request for a terminal, query the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the terminal from the resource request blockchain, and query the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal on the shared base station 102; determine the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal based on the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources; reach a consensus on the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal through multiple operators and pass verification; generate a second block based on the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal, and write the second block into the resource usage blockchain.

[0042] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminals 101, shared base stations 102, blockchain-based wireless slice resource management modules 103, and core networks 104 in the diagram is merely illustrative. Depending on actual needs, there can be any number of terminals 101, shared base stations 102, blockchain-based wireless slice resource management modules 103, and core networks 104.

[0043] The following will describe in more detail the various steps of the wireless slicing resource processing method in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0044] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a wireless slice resource processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. The method provided in this disclosure can be executed by a blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module, and the method provided in this disclosure can be applied to application scenarios of 5G, 5G+SA access network + wireless slice sharing, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the wireless slicing resource processing method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps.

[0046] In step S202, the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal and the wireless slice resources available in the shared base station are obtained, and the hit resources of the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal relative to the wireless slice resources available in the shared base station are determined.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the terminal may be a 5G terminal and the shared base station may be a 5G shared base station, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a wireless slice resource request on-chain, as shown in an example.

[0049] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3When a 5G terminal enters the coverage area of ​​a 5G shared base station, the 5G terminal can forward a wireless slice resource request to a blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module through the 5G shared base station. This wireless slice resource request may include the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal. The 5G shared base station can send its available wireless slice resources to the blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module. The blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module uses the wireless slice resources requested by the 5G terminal and the available wireless slice resources in the 5G shared base station as two transaction data inputs to the wireless slice resource request smart contract. Based on the wireless slice resource request smart contract, it determines the hit resources of the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal in each frequency band and each carrier in the shared base station. The hit resources may include the hit rate.

[0050] For example, a 5G terminal's radio slice resource request (5G terminal or requested radio slice resource) may include PLMNID (Public Land Mobile Network ID), UE ID (User Terminal ID), NSSAI (Network Slice Selection Assistance information) (eMMB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), uRLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication), mMTC (Massive Machine-Type Communication)), TAC (Tracking Area Code), RBs (Min Ratio, Max Ratio) – the minimum and maximum ratio of RBs, 5QI (Priority, Delay, Error)), Expected Freq Band and Carrier (e.g., 3.5G and Carrier 1), Guarantee Rate, and RequestDuration.

[0051] For example, the radio slice resources available in a 5G shared base station may include Available PLMNID, Available NSSAI (eMMB, uRLLC, mMTC), TAC, Available RBs, Available 5QI (Priority, Delay, Error), Available Freq Band and Carrier (e.g., 3.5G and Carrier 1 and Carrier 2), Available Rate, and Available Duration.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the hit resources of the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal relative to the wireless slice resources available at the shared base station includes: determining the hit resources of the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal on each frequency band and each carrier in the shared base station through a resource request smart contract, and publishing the hit resources.

[0053] Among them, the resource request smart contract (also known as the wireless slice resource request smart contract) is a smart contract used to calculate the hit resources of wireless slice resources on each frequency band and each carrier of the shared base station by taking the wireless slice resources requested by the 5G terminal and the wireless slice resources available in the 5G shared base station as input transaction data.

[0054] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the hit resources may include the hit rate of the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal on each frequency band and each carrier in the shared base station, as well as the hit frequency band and carrier.

[0055] For example, the hit rate of the wireless slice resources requested by the 5G terminal in each frequency band (e.g., 3.5G, 2.1G) and each carrier (e.g., carrier 1-3) in the 5G shared base station can be calculated through the resource request smart contract (e.g., 3.5G carrier 1-30%, carrier 2-70%, carrier 3-50%, 2.1G carrier 1-60%, carrier 2-20%, etc.), and the calculation results can be output and published.

[0056] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of blockchain and wireless slice requests to the blockchain, based on an example.

[0057] refer to Figure 4 The blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module in this embodiment may include a wireless slice request blockchain 401 and a wireless slice usage blockchain 402. The wireless slice request blockchain 401 may include a resource request smart contract 4011, an improved consensus mechanism 4012, a resource request verification mechanism 4013, and a resource request blockchain 4014. The wireless slice usage blockchain 402 may include a resource usage smart contract 4021, an improved consensus mechanism 4022, a resource usage verification mechanism 4023, and a resource usage blockchain 4024. The wireless slice request blockchain 401 and the wireless slice usage blockchain 402 are connected end-to-end, i.e., the resource request blockchain 4014 and the resource usage smart contract 4021 are linked, and the resource usage smart contract 4021 can obtain data from the resource request blockchain 4014.

[0058] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the result of the computation of the resource request smart contract 4011 is used as the input of the improved consensus mechanism 4012.

[0059] In step S204, multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station reach a consensus on the hit resources and verify them to obtain the wireless slice shared resources that have reached a consensus and passed the verification.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station include at least one contractor and at least one sharing party.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, the consensus and verification of the hit resources by multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station includes: obtaining the slice subscription information of the terminal; and reaching a consensus and verification of the hit resources by multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station based on the slice subscription information.

[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the hit rate of available slice resources on each frequency band and each carrier in the 5G shared base station can be authenticated through the core network collaboration of all operators (e.g., including one contractor and multiple sharing parties) corresponding to the shared base station. This is calculated by the smart contract for 5G terminal wireless slice resource requests. The slice subscription information of the 5G terminal (user) is also taken into account, and the consensus is reached by the contractor and the sharing parties (e.g., 3.5G carrier 2 - hit rate 70%). The available wireless slice shared resources in the 5G shared base station that has reached a true consensus are then input into the resource request verification mechanism.

[0063] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the wireless slice shared resources available in the 5G shared base station that have reached a true consensus are verified through the core network collaboration of all the above-mentioned operators (including one contractor and multiple sharing parties). The resources that have reached a consensus and passed the verification can be called wireless slice shared resources.

[0064] In step S206, a first block is generated based on the wireless slice shared resources, and the first block is written into the resource request blockchain.

[0065] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a new first block, which has reached a true consensus through the wireless slicing resource request consensus mechanism and has been verified by the verification mechanism, can be sequentially written into the resource request blockchain.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, generating a first block based on wireless slice shared resources includes: generating a first block based on wireless slice shared resources, and adding the contractor's digital signature, the sharing party's digital signature, and a first timestamp to the first block.

[0067] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first block may include a block header and a block body (data), and the digital signatures and timestamps of the contractor and the sharing party of the 5G shared base station are added to the first block to ensure data security.

[0068] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a new first block as shown in an example.

[0069] refer to Figure 5 The new first block can include a block header and a block body. The block header can include a version number, the hash value of the previous block, the Merkle root node, a timestamp, a difficulty value, and a random number. The block body can include a data area for recording and storing data.

[0070] The wireless slice resource processing method provided in this disclosure determines the matching resources between the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal and the wireless slice resources available in the shared base station, based on the wireless slice resources requested by the terminal and the wireless slice resources available in the shared base station. Multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station reach a consensus on the matching resources and verify them to obtain the consensus-reached and verified wireless slice shared resources. A first block is generated based on the wireless slice shared resources and written into the resource request blockchain. This ensures the fairness, transparency, immutability, traceability, and security of wireless slice resource requests, providing a reliable basis and security guarantee for reviewing, auditing, and settling fees related to wireless slice requests. By combining wireless slice sharing with blockchain, the flexibility, fairness, security, and timeliness of wireless slice resource sharing and statistics are improved, enhancing user experience and increasing the utilization rate of wireless slice resources.

[0071] In some embodiments, based on the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request transaction data, the 5G shared base station wireless slice resource availability transaction data, and the digital signatures of the 5G shared base station contractor and the sharing party, the hit rate of 5G terminal wireless slice resource requests on each frequency band and each carrier in the 5G shared base station is calculated through the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request smart contract. The smart contract calculation result is output and published, and the 5G terminal (user) slice contract information is taken into account. Consensus is reached by combining the contractor and the sharing party. After verification by the improved consensus mechanism, the result is written into the wireless slice resource request blockchain, ensuring the fairness and transparency of wireless slice resource requests and responses.

[0072] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating another wireless slice resource processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0073] In this embodiment of the disclosure, Figure 2 After step S206 of the wireless slicing resource processing method shown, Figure 6 The wireless slicing resource processing method shown may also include the following steps.

[0074] In step S602, in response to a resource usage query request for the terminal, the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the terminal are queried from the resource request blockchain, and the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal on the shared base station are queried through the shared base station.

[0075] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when it is necessary to count the wireless slice resources used by 5G terminals under 5G shared base stations, a resource usage query request can be sent to the wireless slice resource management module. The resource usage query request includes the terminal's identifier.

[0076] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of wireless slice resources on-chain, as shown in an example.

[0077] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 When it is necessary to statistically analyze the wireless slice resources used by 5G terminals under 5G shared base stations, the blockchain-based wireless slice resource module queries the resource request blockchain using the 5G terminal ID to find the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request information (i.e., the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the aforementioned terminal) after reaching a consensus. The blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module queries the 5G shared base station using the 5G terminal ID to find the wireless slice resource information actually used by the 5G terminal on the 5G shared base station.

[0078] The blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module can use the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the terminal obtained from the resource request blockchain and the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal on the shared base station as two transaction data inputs for the wireless slice resource smart contract.

[0079] Among them, the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the terminal obtained from the resource request blockchain are wireless slice shared resources that have reached a consensus and are available in the 5G shared base stations in the wireless slice resource request blockchain, which are also the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request information stored in the wireless slice resource request blockchain.

[0080] The radio slice resources actually used by 5G terminals on 5G shared base stations may include: Actual PLMN ID, UE ID, NSSA I (eMMB, uRLLC, mMTC), TAC, RBs (Average Num), Actual 5QI (Priority, Delay, Error), Actual Freq Band and Carrier, Actual Rate, Actual Duration.

[0081] In step S604, the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal are determined based on the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources.

[0082] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the wireless slice resource management module can determine the accuracy of the wireless slice resource usage statistics of the terminal in the 5G shared base station based on the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal based on the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources includes: determining the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal on each frequency band and each carrier in the shared base station through a resource usage smart contract based on the wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources, and publishing the wireless slice shared resources.

[0084] Among them, the resource usage smart contract (also known as the wireless slice resource usage smart contract) is a smart contract used to calculate the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal on each frequency band and each carrier in the shared base station by taking the actual wireless slice resources used by the terminal and the wireless slice shared resources corresponding to the terminal obtained from the resource usage blockchain as input transaction data.

[0085] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the actual wireless slice sharing resources used may include the accuracy of the statistics on the use of wireless slice resources by 5G terminals on various frequency bands and carriers in the 5G shared base station.

[0086] For example, by using smart contracts to calculate the accuracy (e.g., 90%) of the wireless slice resource usage statistics of 5G terminals in various frequency bands (e.g., 3.5G) and various carriers (e.g., carrier 2) of 5G shared base stations, the calculation results can be output and published.

[0087] refer to Figure 4 The wireless slicing request blockchain 401 and the wireless slicing usage blockchain 402 are connected end to end, that is, the resource request blockchain 4014 and the resource usage smart contract 4021 are connected. The resource usage smart contract 4021 can obtain data from the resource request blockchain 4014, and the calculation result of the resource usage enabling contract 4021 is used as the input of the improved consensus mechanism 4022.

[0088] In step S606, consensus is reached and verified among multiple operators regarding the shared wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, reaching a consensus and verifying the shared wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal through multiple operators includes: reaching a consensus and verifying the shared wireless slice resources actually used by the terminal through multiple operators corresponding to the shared base station based on slice subscription information.

[0090] In this embodiment, the accuracy of the wireless slice resource usage statistics of the 5G terminal in each frequency band and each carrier in the 5G shared base station can be verified by the core network collaboration of all operators (e.g., including one contractor and multiple sharing parties) corresponding to the shared base station. The accuracy of the wireless slice resource usage statistics of the 5G terminal in each frequency band and each carrier in the 5G shared base station can be verified by the smart contract for the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request. The slice contract information of the 5G terminal (user) (from the core network of the operator to which the 5G terminal belongs) is also taken into account. The consensus is reached by the contractor and the sharing parties (e.g., 2-90% for 3.5G carrier). The wireless slice shared resource information of the 5G terminal that has reached a consensus is input into the wireless slice resource usage verification mechanism.

[0091] The collaboration of the core networks of all operators (e.g., including one contractor and multiple sharing parties) is used to verify the wireless slice sharing resources that are truly used by 5G terminals in 5G shared base stations with a consensus reached.

[0092] In step S608, a second block is generated based on the wireless slice sharing resources actually used by the terminal, and the second block is written into the resource usage blockchain.

[0093] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a new second block, which has reached a true consensus through the wireless slicing resource request consensus mechanism and has been verified by the verification mechanism, can be sequentially written into the resource usage blockchain.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, generating a second block based on the wireless slice sharing resources actually used by the terminal includes: generating a second block based on the wireless slice sharing resources actually used by the terminal, and adding the contractor's digital signature, the sharing party's digital signature, and the second timestamp to the second block.

[0095] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first block may include a block header and a block body (data), and the digital signatures and timestamps of the contractor and the sharing party of the 5G shared base station are added to the first block to ensure data security.

[0096] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a new second block as shown in an example.

[0097] refer to Figure 8 The new second block can include a block header and a block body. The block header can include a version number, the hash value of the previous block, the Merkle root node, a timestamp, a difficulty value, and a random number. The block body can include a data area for recording and storing data.

[0098] The wireless slice resource processing method provided in this disclosure generates a second block based on the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal, and writes the second block into the resource usage blockchain. This ensures the fairness, transparency, immutability, traceability, and security of wireless slice resource usage, providing a reliable basis and security guarantee for reviewing, auditing, and settling fees related to wireless slice usage. By combining wireless slice sharing with blockchain, the flexibility, fairness, security, and timeliness of wireless slice resource sharing and statistics are improved, enhancing user experience and increasing the utilization rate of wireless slice resources.

[0099] In some embodiments, based on the 5G terminal wireless slice resource request transaction data in the wireless slice resource request blockchain that has reached a consensus, the actual wireless slice resource transaction data used by the 5G terminal on the 5G shared base station, and the digital signatures of the 5G shared base station contractor and the sharing party, the accuracy rate of the wireless slice resource usage statistics of the 5G terminal on each frequency band and each carrier in the 5G shared base station is calculated through the 5G terminal wireless slice resource usage smart contract. The smart contract calculation result is output and published, and the slicing contract information of the 5G terminal (user) is taken into account. A consensus is reached in combination with the contractor and the sharing party. After verification by the improved consensus mechanism, the result is written into the wireless slice resource usage blockchain, which ensures the immutability, traceability and security of wireless slice resource requests and wireless slice resource usage. This provides a reliable basis and security guarantee for reviewing and auditing the use of wireless slice resources and related aspects such as fee settlement.

[0100] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating another wireless slice resource processing method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0101] In this embodiment of the disclosure, Figure 6 After step S608 of the wireless slicing resource processing method shown, Figure 9 The wireless slicing resource processing method shown may also include the following steps.

[0102] In step S902, a resource usage query request for a terminal is obtained, which is forwarded by the core network through the shared base station. The resource usage query request includes the terminal identifier.

[0103] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of outlinks for wireless slice resources, as shown in an example.

[0104] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 10 When the billing system in the 5G core network of the 5G terminal's home operator queries the wireless slice resources used by the 5G terminal under the 5G shared base station, the billing system in the 5G core network of the 5G terminal's home operator can send a query request to the 5G shared base station through the operator's 5G core network to query the wireless slice resources used by the 5G terminal under the 5G shared base station. The resource usage query request includes the terminal identifier.

[0105] The 5G shared base station can forward the request for wireless slicing resources by 5G terminals under the 5G shared base station to the blockchain-based wireless slicing resource management module.

[0106] In step S904, the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal are obtained by writing resources and querying the blockchain based on the terminal identifier.

[0107] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module queries the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the 5G terminal on the 5G shared base station in the wireless slice resource usage blockchain through the terminal identifier of the 5G terminal (after consensus is reached).

[0108] In step S906, the wireless slice shared resources actually used by the terminal are forwarded to the core network through the shared base station.

[0109] In this embodiment, the blockchain-based wireless slice resource management module transfers the actual wireless slice resource information used by the 5G terminal on the 5G shared base station to the core network of the 5G terminal's home operator through the 5G shared base station. The core network of the 5G terminal's home operator then transfers the actual wireless slice resource information used by the 5G terminal on the 5G shared base station to the billing system in the 5G core network of the 5G terminal's home operator. This provides a reliable basis and security guarantee for reviewing and auditing the use of wireless slice resources and related aspects of fee settlement, reduces the operation and maintenance costs of 5G / 5G+ access network sharing, and improves the efficiency of wireless slice resource usage settlement between access network sharing operators.
