Description

Distributed ledger DLT information transmission method and computer program product

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present application is based on Chinese Patent Application No. CN202410894856.1, filed on July 4, 2024, entitled “Distributed ledger DLT information transmission method and computer program product”, and claims priority to the same, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communication, in particular to a distributed ledger DLT information transmission method and computer program product. BACKGROUND

[0004] 6G introduces distributed ledger technology (DLT) to achieve the vision of trust, forming a 6G native distributed ledger. DLT forms a final resolution through multi-party consensus among nodes, and each information requiring resolution is sent by the node generating the information to all nodes participating in the information consensus. The traditional mobile communication system is centrally controlled by the core network, and the uplink and downlink of each node are scheduled by the system, which is an end-to-end process from the terminal to the core network and then to the data network. However, DLT information interaction is different from traditional data transmission, and information interaction occurs between any nodes including core network elements and terminals.

[0005] The existing data interaction process is a point-to-point process, such as user information being transmitted to the core network through the base station, and then sent to another user by the core network. DLT messages are different from such point-to-point data transmission. After generating DLT information, the generating node needs to send the information to other nodes involved within a certain time. In a mobile communication network with native DLT, distributed ledger nodes include terminals, core network nodes, etc. The existing known DLT transmission process of the mobile communication network is also an end-to-end transmission from the terminal to the core network controlled by the core network, and other nodes cannot determine the information transmission time by themselves, which does not meet the basic characteristics of the distributed ledger.

[0006] In summary, the related art cannot achieve autonomous transmission of distributed ledger information between nodes. SUMMARY

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a distributed ledger DLT information transmission method is provided, comprising: a terminal access node obtaining distributed ledger DLT information; and the terminal access node sending the DLT information to a core network.

[0008] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a distributed ledger (DLT) information transmission method is provided, comprising: a core network obtaining DLT information; and the core network sending the DLT information to a terminal access node.

[0009] According to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer readable storage medium is also provided, which stores a computer program, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the steps in any of the method embodiments described above when executed.

[0010] According to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device is also provided, which comprises a memory and a processor, the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to execute the steps in any of the method embodiments described above.

[0011] According to still another embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer program product is also provided, which comprises a computer program, and the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the steps in any of the method embodiments described above.

The method of claim 1, wherein, The sending, by the terminal access node, of the DLT information to the core network comprises: sending, by the terminal access node, a quality of service (QoS) flow carrying the DLT information to the core network over an N3 interface based on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

7. The method of claim 6, wherein, The sending, by the terminal access node, of the DLT information to the core network comprises: sending, by the terminal access node, the QoS flow to a user plane function (UPF) of the core network over the N3 interface based on the PUSCH, so that the UPF sends the DLT information to a session management function (SMF) of the core network over an N4 interface.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein, The obtaining, by the terminal access node, of the DLT information comprises: generating, by the terminal access node, the DLT information; or receiving, by the terminal access node, the DLT information. 9.A method for transmitting distributed ledger technology (DLT) information, comprising: obtaining, by a core network, DLT information; sending, by the core network, the DLT information to a terminal access node.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein, The sending, by the core network, of the DLT information to the terminal access node comprises: sending, by an access and mobility management function (AMF) of the core network, first DLT signaling carrying the DLT information to the terminal access node over an N1 interface, wherein the first DLT signaling is generated by a non-access stratum (NAS).

11. The method of claim 9, wherein, The sending, by the core network, of the DLT information to the terminal access node comprises: The AMF of the core network sends a second DLT signaling carrying the DLT information to the terminal access node through an N2 interface, wherein the second DLT signaling is generated by a radio resource control layer (RRC).

12. The method of claim 9, wherein, The core network sends the DLT information to the terminal access node, comprising: The session management function (SMF) of the core network sends the DLT information to a user plane function (UPF) of the core network through an N4 interface. The UPF of the core network sends a quality of service (QoS) flow carrying the DLT information to the terminal access node.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein, The core network obtains the DLT information, comprising: The DLT node of the core network generates the DLT information. Alternatively, the DLT node of the core network receives the DLT information.

14. A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a computer program, wherein, The computer program is executed by a processor to implement the method in any one of claims 1 to 13.

15. An electronic device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the method in any one of claims 1 to 13 when executing the computer program.

16. A computer program product comprising a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the method in any one of claims 1 to 13.
