DISTRIBUTED SERVICE ACTIVATION METHOD VIA BLOCKCHAIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240243977 titled 'DISTRIBUTED SERVICE ACTIVATION METHOD VIA BLOCKCHAIN

The abstract describes a multi-domain telecommunication network utilizing a blockchain with an activation block to reserve connection paths for services and a correction block for efficient crank-back procedures.

  • Activation block in blockchain reserves connection paths for services
  • Correction block in blockchain enables timely crank-back procedures
  • Management nodes in different domains activate their respective portions of the connection path
  • Activation miner management node verifies reserved resources and generates correction blocks if activation fails
  • Subsequent blockchain decisions reflect the actual status of network resources

Potential Applications: - Telecommunication networks - Blockchain technology in network management

Problems Solved: - Efficient activation and deactivation of connection paths - Timely correction of failed activation procedures

Benefits: - Improved network resource management - Enhanced service reliability

Commercial Applications: Title: "Blockchain-Enabled Network Resource Management" This technology can be applied in telecommunications companies, network service providers, and data centers to optimize resource allocation and enhance service reliability.

Prior Art: Research existing blockchain applications in network management and telecommunication systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in blockchain technology for network resource management.

Questions about Multi-Domain Telecommunication Network with Blockchain: 1. How does the activation block in the blockchain reserve connection paths for services? 2. What are the benefits of using a correction block for crank-back procedures in network management?


Original Abstract Submitted

a multi-domain telecommunication network may use a blockchain with an activation block to activate a reserved connection path for a service. the network may use a correction block in the blockchain to efficiently and timely perform a crank-back procedure. a management node of a domain of the network may act as an activation miner send activation messages to management nodes of other domains of the network, the management nodes may perform activation for their respective portions of the connection path reserved by the activation block. the management node acting as the activation miner may verify activation of reserved resources and, in case of failure, generate a correction block to lock the failed resources and to release the resources affected by the crank-back process. subsequent blockchain decisions and calculations may reflect the actual status of network resources.
