Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If distributed ledgers are used for data processing and storage in wireless network slices, then reliability and security are improved, but data access efficiency and processing speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the distributed ledger system into multiple components: network slices are divided into subnets, and ledgers are partitioned into separate data blocks. Directory services are deployed at different hierarchical levels (core network and subnet levels) to manage different portions of the distributed ledger system, enabling parallel processing and reducing the bottleneck effect of consensus mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces directory services as intermediary components between network entities and distributed ledgers. These directory services cache metadata, maintain indexing structures, and provide optimized access paths to ledger data, reducing the direct interaction overhead and improving data retrieval efficiency without compromising the integrity of the distributed ledger consensus process.
2Reliability
If distributed ledgers are deployed across multiple network slices and partitions, then data security and redundancy are improved, but system complexity and data management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal directory service framework that can be deployed across multiple network slices and partitions with consistent functionality. The directory services perform multiple functions including metadata storage, indexing, access optimization, and coordination across different ledger instances, providing a unified management interface that simplifies operation despite the distributed nature of the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary actions by pre-establishing directory services with cached metadata and indexing structures before data access operations occur. The directory services pre-process and organize ledger information, maintaining ready-to-use access paths and references that eliminate the need for complex real-time queries across the entire distributed ledger network during operational phases.

AI summary
A wireless communication network comprises distributed ledgers that host network attributes that have data values that characterize wireless data services. Directory circuitry stores ledger information that characterizes the distributed ledgers and the network attributes. Network circuitry delivers the wireless data services to wireless User Equipment (UEs). The network circuitry generates and stores the data values and their network attributes in the distributed ledgers. The directory circuitry receives a directory information request and selects a portion of the ledger information that characterizes the distributed ledgers and the network attributes based on the directory information request. The network circuitry receives a ledger information request responsive to the selected portion of the ledger information. The network circuitry selects and transfers a portion of the network attributes and the related data values based on the ledger information request.
