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 resource-meter circuitry measures resource-usage and wirelessly transfer meter data characterizing the resource-usage. The ledger-client circuitry receives the meter data from the resource-metering circuitry and transfers the meter data to the distributed-ledger circuitry. The distributed-ledger circuitry executes distributed ledger transactions with the meter data, generates resource-usage results, and commits the meter data and the resource-usage results to different distributed ledgers in a blockchain format. Ledger client circuitry transfers the resource-usage results from the different distributed ledgers to network addresses.
