4. The system of claim 1 , comprising one or more devices in the 5G network to send and receive encrypted data from the Internet where fingerprints of the data sent are stored in the blockchain and where devices spend fees by paying hosts to send data to and from the Internet.
5. The system of claim 1 , comprising routers that receive packets from devices via hotspots and route packets to predetermined destinations and provide one of: authentication, routing packets from hotspots and routing them to the Internet, providing delivery confirmations to ensure transport transactions are honest, and providing a full copy of the blockchain ledger by acting as a full node.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the smart contract specifies predetermined rules and tokens to pay the small cell in exchange for network access.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor controls actuators coupled to the antennas.
8. 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.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein certainty of location data is increased by establishing a multidirectional proof of location by having multiple nearby wireless nodes validate an occurrence and range of an interaction by a client node by cosigning the interaction to provide a zero-knowledge proof that the two nodes were in proximity of each other, wherein interactions on the blockchain by an edge produce the Best Answer from the relative proximity of all the nodes that are in the network.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein processor, given a set of reported data and a query for a relative position of one of a plurality of edge nodes, generates an approximation of a position and stores the approximation on the ledger or blockchain.
11. The system of claim 1 , comprising a neural network coupled to a control plane, a management plane, and a data plane to optimize 5G parameters.
12. The system of claim 1 , comprising one or more cameras and sensors in the housing to capture security information.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the housing is a drop in replacement for an existing housing.
14. The system of claim 1 , comprising routers and client devices that record to the blockchain predetermined routers passing data to a host, such that a transmitter on a network sends device data to a selected router at a predetermined destination and the router confirms with the transmitter that device data is received at a predetermined destination and a host account is credited.
15. The system of claim 1 , comprising an edge learning machine in the housing to provide local edge processing for Internet-of-Things (IOT) sensors.
16. The system of claim 1 , comprising pre-trained models and modifies the pre-trained models for a selected task.
