Abstract
In various embodiments, ledger-based telecommunications network event archiving for trusted model non-3GPP devices and systems are provided. Trusted model non-3GPP devices can access network functions and services to utilize a ledger-based event recordation service. Through the recordation service, network events associated with trusted model non-3GPP UE device usage of network functions and services may be recorded to an event ledger. The event ledger may comprise a hyperledger and/or blockchain technology, and/or may comprise an element of a distributed ledger network (DLN) and/or distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based records repository. In some embodiments, to function as a trusted model device, a non-3GPP device is configured with a 3GPP compatible universal connectivity stack (UCS). The UCS may comprise software for creating a secure tunnel using 3GPP authentication and security protocols to functionally extend the N3 user plane tunnel from an N3IWF of the core network to the UCS within the non-3GPP device.
