Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UE) responsive to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) network. The UE determines Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels for a wireless data service at geographic locations. The UE transfers the QoS levels for the wireless data service at the geographic locations to a network core.

The network core receives a future QoS level, future geographic location, and future time for the wireless data service for the UE from the AI network. The network core signals a network control-plane to deliver the wireless data service to the UE at the future geographic location and the future time using the future QoS level. The UE receives the wireless data service at the future geographic location and the future time using the future QoS level.

Abstract: In a resource-metering data network, slice control circuitry instantiates a wireless network slice that comprises hardware-trust circuitry, ledger-client circuitry, distributed-ledger circuitry, and resource-meter circuitry. The hardware-trust circuitry establishes hardware-trust with the ledger-client circuitry, the distributed-ledger circuitry, and the resource-meter circuitry.

The synthesizer operates to ensure that the cache of micro-service data available to the reflector is fresh and updated. The micro-service data gateway may be positioned near the UE at a network edge of the core network and/or in part implemented within the UE.

Analysis of the data can be facilitated by an artificial intelligence module. Based on the analysis, the requested network service may be selectively authorized or prohibited. Additionally, the trustlet can be activated while a network service is being utilized by a user device to detect anomalous and potentially deceptive activity.

Abstract: A system can correct or avoid an unexpected result caused by executing a smart contract. The system can detect a potential/actual result generated based on a primary smart contract, which is stored in association with a block of a blockchain and is configured to execute when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The system can determine that the potential/actual result deviates from an expected result and, in response, retrieve a secondary smart contract from a repository. The secondary smart contract is selected to prevent the unexpected result in the future. The system can store the secondary smart contract retrieved from the repository in association with a subsequent block of the blockchain. The primary smart contract and the secondary smart contract are then configured to execute in concert when the predetermined condition is satisfied such that the expected result is produced instead of the unexpected result.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.

In some embodiments, the phase shift may be adjusted by controlling a latency characteristic of the low latency network slice.

In one embodiment, an AEPH initialization node emits a first electromagnetic field to charge the AEPH chip and/or initiate a boot-up sequence, and an AEPH interrogation node that transmits a second electromagnetic field to trigger processing operations within the AEPH chip. The first electromagnetic field and second electromagnetic fields are emitted respectively within an AEPH initialization zone and an AEPH interrogation zone that are offset from each other such that the first electromagnetic field emission in the AEPH initialization zone does not produce backscatter that interferes with the AEPH interrogation node receiving interrogation reply signals from the AEPH interrogation zone. Curtailing backscatter facilitates the ability to convey items with AEPH chips at faster line speeds so that a greater number of items per minute can be processed.

The EAS exchanges the user data between the GAS and a network core responsive to the additional EDGE-3 signaling. The core exchanges the user with the AS and transfers network information for the exchange to a Distributed Ledger (DL) node. The DL node determines trust based on the network information.
