BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SYSTEM FOR REESTABLISHING SEQUENCING AFTER CONNECTION LOSS BETWEEN DISTRIBUTED SUBSCRIBER DATABASE AND A 5G CORE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048961 titled 'BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SYSTEM FOR REESTABLISHING SEQUENCING AFTER CONNECTION LOSS BETWEEN DISTRIBUTED SUBSCRIBER DATABASE AND A 5G CORE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for reestablishing sequencing after a connection loss between a distributed subscriber database and a 5G core. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves recording authentication sequence numbers from the distributed subscriber database to the distributed 5G cores using a distributed ledger of a blockchain.
  • If a connection is lost between a 5G core and the distributed subscriber database, the 5G core can operate from a local copy of the database.
  • The lost connection is then reconnected between the 5G core and the distributed subscriber database.
  • The recorded sequence numbers are accessed from the distributed ledger of the blockchain.
  • The recorded authentication sequence numbers in the distributed ledger are used to resolve the number sequencing issue between the distributed subscriber database and the reconnected 5G core.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Telecommunication networks: This technology can be applied in 5G networks to ensure seamless reestablishment of sequencing after connection loss, improving network reliability and performance.
  • Distributed databases: The method can be used in any distributed database system to maintain consistency and synchronization between different nodes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Connection loss: The method addresses the issue of connection loss between a distributed subscriber database and a 5G core, ensuring that sequencing is reestablished without data loss or inconsistencies.
  • Number sequencing issue: By using the recorded authentication sequence numbers, this technology solves the problem of maintaining proper sequencing between the distributed subscriber database and the reconnected 5G core.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability: The method ensures that even in the event of a connection loss, the 5G core can continue operating from a local copy of the database, minimizing service disruptions.
  • Data consistency: By using the distributed ledger of a blockchain, the recorded sequence numbers help maintain proper sequencing between the distributed subscriber database and the 5G core, preventing data inconsistencies.
  • Efficient reestablishment: The technology enables quick reconnection and reestablishment of sequencing, reducing downtime and improving overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for reestablishing sequencing after connection loss between a distributed subscriber database and a 5g core. one such method including: recording authentication sequence numbers from the distributed subscriber database to the distributed 5g cores using a distributed ledger of a blockchain; in response to a lost connection between a 5g core of the plurality of 5g cores and the distributed subscriber database, enabling the 5g core to operate from a local copy of the distributed subscriber database; reconnecting the lost connection between the 5g core of the plurality of 5g cores and the distributed subscriber database; accessing the recorded sequence numbers from the distributed subscriber database using the distributed ledger of the blockchain; and obviating the number sequencing issue between the distributed subscriber database and the reconnected 5g core of the plurality of 5g cores using the recorded authentication sequence numbers in the distributed ledger of the blockchain.
