Abstract

A system includes a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts; one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger; and a processor to control a directionality of the antennas in communication with a predetermined target using 5G protocols.

Claims (55)

1. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger; and

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols, wherein the processor focuses 5G signals to the target with iterative changes in orientations of the one or more antennas.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor calibrates a radio link between a transceiver in the housing and a client device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is coupled to fiber optics cable to communicate with a cloud-based radio access network (RAN) or a remote RAN.

4. The system of claim 1 , comprising a smart contract provided by the predetermined target to access the 5G small cell.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the smart contract specifies predetermined rules and tokens to pay the small cell in exchange for network access.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor moves actuators coupled to the antennas.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the distributed ledger stores location data of the small cell and the predetermined target obtains the location of the small cell.

8. The system of claim 1 , comprising one or more Fresnel lenses to improve SNR.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor changes a curvature or a shape of the surface to meet predetermined criteria.

10. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger; and

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols, wherein the processor calibrates a connection by analyzing RSSI and TSSI and moves the antennas until predetermined cellular parameters are reached.

11. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger;

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols and

a neural network coupled to one of: a control plane, a management plane, and a data plane to optimize 5G parameters.

12. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger;

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols, and

one or more cameras and sensors in the housing to capture security information.

13. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger; and

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols, wherein the housing is a drop in replacement for an existing housing to upgrade existing lights and add 5G or 6G active antennas.

14. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger;

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using 5G protocols; and

a camera and a processor for individual identification stored on the blockchain.

15. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger; and

a processor to control a directionality of the one or more antennas in communication with a predetermined target using one or more 5G protocols, wherein the processor analyzes walking gaits and facial features for identity identification.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor analyzes sound captured using a microphone to determine events in progress.

17. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 5G small cells, each having one or more antennas mounted on a housing, each small cell sending packets of data trackable with the distributed ledger;
