[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and the above-described accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0032] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device. Taking an example of running on a computer terminal, FIG. 1 is a hardware structural block diagram of a computer terminal for a method for transmitting distributed ledger information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the computer terminal can include one or more (only one is shown in FIG. 1) processors 102 (the processor 102 can include, but is not limited to, a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the computer terminal can further include a transmission device 106 for communication function and an input and output device 108. Those skilled in the art can understand that the structure shown in FIG. 1 is only schematic, which does not limit the structure of the computer terminal. For example, the computer terminal can further include more or fewer components than those shown in FIG. 1, or have a different configuration from that shown in FIG. 1.

[0033] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs of application software and modules, such as a computer program corresponding to the distributed ledger information transmission method in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The processor 102 performs various functional applications and data processing, that is, implements the above method, by running the computer program stored in the memory 104. The memory 104 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memories, or other non-volatile solid-state memories. In some examples, the memory 104 can further include a memory remotely arranged with respect to the processor 102, which can be connected to the computer terminal through a network. Examples of the above network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and a combination thereof.

[0034] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. Specific examples of the above network can include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the computer terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, NIC) which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to be able to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (Radio Frequency, RF) module used to communicate with the Internet in a wireless manner.

[0035] In the present embodiment, a distributed ledger information transmission method running on the above computer terminal is provided. FIG. 2 is a base station side flowchart of the distributed ledger information transmission method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:

[0036] In step S202, the base station acquires distributed ledger information.

[0037] In step S204, the base station sends the distributed ledger information carried on a distributed ledger dedicated quality of service flow or distributed ledger signaling to a core network distributed ledger node.

[0038] Through the above steps S202-S204, the base station sends the acquired distributed ledger information carried on a distributed ledger dedicated quality of service flow or distributed ledger signaling to a core network distributed ledger node. The problem that one-to-many information transmission between arbitrary nodes of a distributed ledger is not supported, end-to-end transmission from a terminal to a core network controlled by the core network, and other nodes cannot decide information sending time by themselves in the related art is solved, and the effect of autonomous sending, receiving, and processing of a distributed ledger between arbitrary nodes is achieved.

[0039] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is a core network network function (NF), after the base station obtains the distributed ledger information, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can carry the obtained distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger special quality of service (QoS) flow and send it to the core network distributed ledger node.

[0040] For example, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can carry the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger special QoS flow, forward the distributed ledger information to a user plane function (UPF), and then forward it to a session management function (SMF) and then to the core network distributed ledger node. The distributed ledger processing entity is set on a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer.

[0041] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is built into an access and mobility management function (AMF), after the base station obtains the distributed ledger information, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can also carry the obtained distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger special QoS flow and send it to the core network distributed ledger node.

[0042] For example, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can carry the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger special QoS flow, forward the distributed ledger information to a user plane function (UPF), and then forward it to a session management function (SMF) and then to the core network distributed ledger node. The distributed ledger processing entity is set on a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer.

[0043] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is a core network network function (NF), after the base station obtains the distributed ledger information, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can also carry the obtained distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger special QoS flow and send it to the core network distributed ledger node.

[0044] The distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can send the distributed ledger information to the AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) on the distributed ledger signaling, and the AMF forwards the distributed ledger signaling to the core network distributed ledger node. The distributed ledger processing entity is arranged at the RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is built in the AMF, after the base station obtains the distributed ledger information, the distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can also send the obtained distributed ledger information to the core network distributed ledger node on the distributed ledger signaling.

[0046] The distributed ledger processing entity of the base station can also send the distributed ledger information to the AMF on the distributed ledger signaling. The distributed ledger processing entity is also arranged at the RRC layer.

[0047] It should be noted that the distributed ledger can be blockchain information, blockchain transaction information, blockchain consensus related information such as pre-preparation information in PBFT (practical byzantine fault tolerance), or blockchain ledger information.

[0050] In step S304, the core network distributed ledger node sends the distributed ledger information to the base station on the distributed ledger dedicated QoS (Quality of Service) flow or the distributed ledger signaling.

[0051] Through the above steps S302-S304, the core network distributed ledger node sends the generated distributed ledger information to the base station on the distributed ledger dedicated QoS flow or the distributed ledger signaling. The problem that the one-to-many information transmission between the distributed ledger nodes is not supported in the related art, the terminal-to-core network end-to-end transmission controlled by the core network, and other nodes cannot determine the information sending time by themselves is solved, and the effect of autonomous sending, receiving, and processing of the distributed ledger between any nodes is achieved.

[0052] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is as a core network network function (NF), after the core network distributed ledger node generates the distributed ledger information, the core network distributed ledger node can send the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger dedicated Quality of Service (QoS) flow.

[0053] For example, the core network distributed ledger node forwards the distributed ledger information to the User Plane Function (UPF) through the Session Management Function (SMF) and sends the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger dedicated QoS flow.

[0054] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is built-in in the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), after the core network distributed ledger node generates the distributed ledger information, the core network distributed ledger node can also send the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger dedicated QoS flow.

[0055] For example, the core network distributed ledger node forwards the distributed ledger information to the UPF through the SMF through the AMF and sends the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger dedicated QoS flow.

[0056] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is as a core network network function (NF), after the core network distributed ledger node generates the distributed ledger information, the core network distributed ledger node can send the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger signaling.

[0057] For example, the core network distributed ledger node sends the distributed ledger information to the AMF by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger signaling, and forwards the distributed ledger signaling to the base station through the AMF.

[0058] In an embodiment, when the core network distributed ledger node is built-in in the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), after the core network distributed ledger node generates the distributed ledger information, the core network distributed ledger node can also send the distributed ledger information to the base station by carrying the distributed ledger information on a distributed ledger signaling.

[0059] For example, the core network distributed ledger node carries the distributed ledger information on the distributed ledger signaling, and sends the distributed ledger signaling to the base station through the AMF.

[0060] It should be noted that the distributed ledger can be blockchain information, can be blockchain transaction information, can be blockchain consensus related information such as pre-preparation information in practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT), and can also be blockchain ledger information.
