Patent number: 11151621Abstract: A framework is provided for blockchain-based customer dispute management of wholesale telecommunications claims. A network device receives a telecommunication claim to dispute an invoice from a provider network. The provider network and a partner network that includes the network device are related through a wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device validates the telecommunication claim based on information in a distributed ledger of the distributed consensus network. The distributed ledger includes transaction information generated by the provider network for the partner network under the wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device adjudicates the telecommunication claim based on information in the distributed ledger and instructions in a contract and updates the distributed ledger with the adjudicated claim.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Mohammed A. Qaudeer, Abdul Raheem, Jason Trask, Jagannath K. Rangarajan, Charles G. Wasserott, Ahmed A. Khan, Rasmi Samal Ranjan, Dawood A. Syed

Patent number: 10045234Abstract: A tester device may establish a connection to customer devices using protocols, such as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol or an Open Mobile Alliance device management (OMA DM) protocol. The tester device may receive information related to wireless communications or operations of the customer devices and the information may be determined by the customer devices. The tester device may perform an analysis of the information. The tester device may provide instructions to the customer devices to cause the customer devices to use a channel to communicate. The tester device may perform a throughput test of the customer devices. The tester device may receive additional information based on performing the throughput test. The tester device may perform a comparison of the information and the additional information. The tester device may provide other instructions to the customer devices to cause the customer devices to use the channel.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Jivko Varlakov, Brian E.
