  • Systems and methods for providing and using proof of coverage in a decentralized wireless network
    Patent number: 11895496
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing and using a decentralized network using a blockchain. A provider (and/or miner) may provide network coverage to one or more devices in return for tokens on the blockchain. The blockchain may employ a proof-of-coverage scheme to verify (and even guarantee) that the miners are honestly representing the wireless network coverage they are providing. In some instances, the proof of coverage may require the providers to prove coverage periodically, upon demand, and/or at random intervals.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for providing and using a decentralized wireless network
    Patent number: 11412383
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for facilitating data transmission using a decentralized consensus network. The system comprising: a verified and decentralized consensus network comprising a plurality of node, wherein at least one of the nodes is configured to: (a) determine a target node from the plurality of nodes to be verified; verify the target node by validating a geographic location of the target node or a time of the target node; and (c) receive a token for verifying and validating the target node.
