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 (26)

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;

a cloud trained neural network whose network parameters are down-sampled before transfer to an edge neural network in the housing; and

a processor to control a directionality of the antennas in communication with a predetermined target using 5G protocols.

2. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 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, wherein the housing is a drop-in replacement for an existing housing to upgrade and add antennas.

3. A system, comprising:

a distributed ledger storing one or more smart contracts;

one or more 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, and a smart contract for the predetermined target to access a learning machine.

4. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the distributed ledger comprises a token, a Bitcoin payment or an Ethereum payment.

5. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , comprising one or more distributed applications (Dapps).

6. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein distributed ledger comprises one or more Bitcoins, Ethers, tokens, coins or value-stores.

7. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , comprising a smart contract provided by the predetermined target to access the 5G small cell.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the smart contract specifies predetermined rules and tokens to pay the small cell in exchange for network access.

9. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the processor moves actuators coupled to the antennas.

10. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the distributed ledger stores location data of the 5G small cell and the predetermined target obtains the location of the 5G small cell.

11. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the 5G small cell communicates with one or more of the following: a machine, a robot, a drone, a vehicle, a text recognizer, a speech recognizer, a language recognizer, a machine learning unit, a computer vision unit, a mapping unit, a geospatial unit, an augmented reality unit, a virtual reality unit, an extended reality unit, a fleet management unit, a video processing unit.

12. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , comprising one or more cameras and sensors in the housing to capture security information.

13. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , comprising a camera and a processor for individual identification stored on the blockchain.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processor analyzes walking gaits and facial features for identity identification.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor analyzes sound captured using a microphone to determine events in progress.

16. The system of claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein the edge learning machine uses pre-trained models and modifies the pre-trained models for a selected task.
