Abstract:
In various implementations, a method of identifying anomalies is performed by a first network node that is configured to maintain a distributed ledger in coordination with a plurality of network nodes. In various implementations, the first network node includes one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and one or more network interfaces. In various implementations, the method includes determining a characteristic value based on information associated with the distributed ledger. In some implementations, the distributed ledger stores blocks of transactions that were added to the distributed ledger based on a consensus determination between the plurality of network nodes. In various implementations, the method includes determining whether a current transaction satisfies the characteristic value. In various implementations, the method include indicating whether there is an anomaly based on a function of the current transaction in relation to the characteristic value.
Abstract:
A method is provided in one example and includes receiving at least one first input indicating at least one network condition associated with a first user device having a user associated therewith. The first user device has a first bearer channel established between the first user device and a gateway, and the first bearer channel has a first quality of service level. The method further includes determining whether to modify the first user device to a second quality of service level based upon the received at least one first input, and sending a first request to a first network element instructing the first network element to modify the first user device to the second quality of service level.
