Abstract
Network slice providers and resource providers in a communication network are configured to cause various records related to a smart contract for one or more resources to be stored in a permissioned blockchain. The records include an allocation, a deallocation and monitoring records related to the resource(s). When the resources are released, the blockchain records ease settling slice beneficiaries' financial obligations.
