Abstract

A method for improving data flow and data security in an existing wireless communications network comprising a central node and a plurality of remote nodes, during band-width-limiting conditions, the method including generating, by a processor at the central node, a hybrid network overlay to the existing wireless communications network, the hybrid network overlay including a remote overlay node for each remote node and a central overly node for the central node. The method further includes maintaining a distributed ledger having a blockchain architecture, the distributed ledger storing data transmitted among the central node and the remote nodes, including designating remote nodes as super nodes comprising using a link sensing mechanism and remote node processing characteristics to identify remote nodes having links with sufficient bandwidth and sufficient processing capacity to aggregate transactions and validate blocks, each super node participating in a block validation process using the hybrid network overlay.
