SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING DATA SESSIONS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK USING A NATIVE BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORM

摘要

A network function (NF) entity in a communication network determines that a User Equipment (UE) supports a blockchain authentication procedure, exchanges authentication messages with a Blockchain Authentication Function (BAF) entity over a blockchain network interface (e.g., based on the blockchain authentication procedure), receives a blockchain authentication confirmation from the BAF entity, and registers the UE based on the blockchain authentication confirmation.
