Abstract

In a wireless communication system, wireless communication devices filter smart contract data. The wireless communication devices generate source smart contract outputs. The wireless communication devices select some of the source smart contract outputs. The wireless communication devices select at least one target smart contract. The wireless communication devices transfer the selected source contract outputs to the ones of the selected target smart contracts. The selections that comprise this filtering may be based on device location, device identifier, digital certificates, device application identifiers, device component identifiers, alarms, messages, time, day, date, and/or some other factors.

Claims (32)

1. A method to filter smart contract data in wireless communication devices, the method comprising:

in the wireless communication devices, generating source smart contract outputs;

in the wireless communication devices, filtering the source smart contract outputs based on locations of the wireless communication devices to generate one or more filtered source smart contract outputs;

in the wireless communication devices, selecting at least one target smart contract; and

in the wireless communication devices, transferring the one or more filtered source smart contract outputs to the selected at least one target smart contract.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising, in the wireless communication devices, wirelessly receiving source smart contract inputs and inputting the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising, in the wireless communication devices, generating source smart contract inputs and inputting the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise at least one distributed ledger.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise wireless User Equipment (UEs).

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise wireless access nodes.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein one or more of the selected at least one target smart contract is executed in a satellite in earth orbit.

8. A method to filter smart contract data in wireless communication devices, the method comprising:

in the wireless communication devices, executing source smart contracts and responsively generating source smart contract outputs;

in the wireless communication devices, determining values for the source smart contract outputs based on locations of the wireless communication devices and responsively filtering the source smart contract outputs based on the values to generate one or more filtered source smart contract outputs;

in the wireless communication devices, selecting target smart contracts for the one or more filtered source smart contract outputs; and

in the wireless communication devices, transferring the one or more filtered source smart contract outputs for input into the selected target smart contracts.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising, in the wireless communication devices, wirelessly receiving source smart contract inputs and inputting the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

10. The method of claim 8 further comprising, in the wireless communication devices, generating source smart contract inputs and inputting the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

11. The method of claim 8 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise distributed ledgers.

12. The method of claim 8 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise wireless User Equipment (UEs).

13. The method of claim 8 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise wireless access nodes.

14. The method of claim 8 wherein one or more of the selected at least one target smart contract is executed in a satellite in earth orbit.

15. A wireless distributed ledger system to filter smart contract data, the wireless distributed ledger system comprising:

wireless communication devices configured to execute source smart contracts and responsively generate source smart contract outputs;

the wireless communication devices further configured to determine values for the source smart contract outputs based on locations of the wireless communication devices and responsively filter the source smart contract outputs based on the values to generate one or more filtered source smart contract outputs;

the wireless communication devices further configured to select target smart contracts for the one or more filtered source smart contract outputs; and

the wireless communication devices further configured to transfer the one or more filtered source smart contract outputs for input into the selected target smart contracts.

16. The wireless distributed ledger system of claim 15 wherein the wireless communication devices are further configured to wirelessly receive source smart contract inputs and input the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

17. The wireless distributed ledger system of claim 15 wherein the wireless communication devices are further configured to generate source smart contract inputs and input the source smart contract inputs into the source smart contracts.

18. The wireless distributed ledger system of claim 15 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise at least one wireless User Equipment (UE).

19. The wireless distributed ledger system of claim 15 wherein the wireless communication devices comprise wireless access nodes.

20. The wireless distributed ledger system of claim 15 wherein one or more of the selected at least one target smart contract is executed in a satellite in earth orbit.
