Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for monitoring nodes on a distributed computing network. A distributed computing system can monitor each node within a wireless network to identify when a node is disconnected from the network. The distributed computing system can dynamically perform tasks on behalf of the node until the node is reconnected to the wireless network. In some implementations, the distributed computing system monitors the utilization of the wireless network to identify when the wireless network has the capacity to perform a task.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to determining network coverage and/or network bandwidth. In some aspects, a method includes detecting, by a user device, one or more signals at a particular location, each of the one or more signals corresponding to a wireless network available at the particular location; for each particular wireless network available at the particular location, transmitting multiple data packets over the particular wireless network; collecting, in response to transmitting the multiple data packets, network parameters associated with transmission of the multiple data packets over the particular wireless network; transmitting, to a server, (i) the network parameters associated with the particular wireless network and (ii) location data identifying the particular location; and receiving, in response to transmitting the network parameters and the location data, information indicative of a reward being assigned to a user account associated with the user device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless communication. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, at one or more computing devices, one or more information packets from a first private network; determining, based on information included in the one or more information packets, one or more routes to deliver the one or more information packets to a second private network, wherein the one or more routes are determined based on routing criteria associated with routing information packets between the first and second private networks; and dispatching the one or more information packets to be routed through at least one of the determined routes.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless communication. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, at one or more computing devices, one or more data packets to or from a private network; obtaining, based on the one or more data packets, information indicative of one or more requirements of the private network for supporting an operation associated with the one or more data packets; configuring one or more Internet services parameters based on the requirements of the private network; and routing the data packet in accordance with the one or more Internet services parameter.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless communication. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, at one or more computing devices, a first information packet from a first private network, wherein a destination of the first information packet is a second private network, wherein the first private network and the second private network differ with respect to at least one network parameter such that the first information packet is incompatible with the second private network; converting the first information packet to a second information packet that accounts for the incompatibility with respect to the at least one network parameter such that the second information packet is decodable at the second private network; and routing the second information packet to the second private network.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless communication. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, at one or more computing devices from a first private network, information representing at least one application to be accessed by a user device associated with a second private network, the information representing the at least one application being configured in accordance with network parameters of the first private network; transmitting the information representing the at least one application to the user device in the form of information packets configured in accordance with network parameters of the second private network; and executing a smart contract representing application sharing agreements between the first private network and the second private network, wherein executing the smart contract includes recording a transaction in accordance with the application sharing agreements, the transaction representing the sharing of the at least one application.

Abstract: An adaptive fifth generation (5G) communications system includes an adaptive 5G tower; a first adaptive 5G site coupled by a dedicated link with the adaptive 5G tower; and a second adaptive 5G site coupled by a direct link with the first adaptive 5G site. The direct link may be established by the first adaptive 5G site and couples the second adaptive 5G site with the adaptive 5G tower. Data signals may be communicated between the adaptive 5G tower and the second adaptive 5G site via the direct link and the dedicated link. Usage of the direct link is accounted for in a blockchain master ledger. The blockchain master ledger corresponds to an adaptive 5G model and may be separately maintained by each of the adaptive 5G tower, the first adaptive 5G site, and the second adaptive 5G site. The master ledger may include relay, processing, path, power, and transaction layers.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for flexible access to priority access tiers in shared radio frequency (RF) spectrum bands. An example embodiment provides automated mechanisms for network operators to obtain the benefits of using a priority access license (PAL) in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), including access to such protected frequency bands, on an as-needed and/or on-demand basis without having to own a PAL (CBRS-As-A-Service (CAAS)). This CAAS thereby provides an “interference insurance” service to network operators. In response to receiving an indication of the at least one condition being met (e.g., a current interference level surpassing a threshold), a priority access tier license controller automatically causes the wireless network operator to be able to operate a wireless network using the PAL to the shared frequency spectrum band and thus be protected from RF interference by lower priority access users.

Abstract: Devices, systems and processes for facilitating ad hoc communications in dense areas are described. A system may include a first user source device (USD) communicatively coupled to an internal net, a first user destination device (UDD) communicatively coupled to an external net and a user hub device (UHD), coupled to each of the internal net and the external. The UHD may facilitate connectivity between the first USD and the first UDD via the internal net and the external net. The internal net may use a common use communications technology, and may be formed in a dense area. The internal net may be formed on an ad hoc basis. The external net may use a public wireless system provider communications system located external to the dense area.

Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing distributed computing and storage resources intelligently select processing and/or storage resources of cell sites, data centers and/or other computing nodes and tap into these available processing and data storage resources to harness these resources on behalf of other remote devices to increase the amount of computing and storage data resources to perform tasks and store data for various services. The system predicts demand and usage and dynamically selects and adjusts utilization of computing resources to meet the demand and utilize otherwise idle systems. To improve latency and reduce network congestion by avoiding adding network traffic over longer and more complex routes, the system provides resources to particular remote devices based on the geographic proximity of the computing node to the particular remote device requesting the resources.
