Abstract:
A Network Function (NF) entity in a telecommunication network receives blockchain credentials associated with UE and selects a Blockchain Charging Function (BCF). The NF entity further generates a Charging Data Record (CDR) corresponding to network resources, and sends a charging request based on the CDR (and policy rules) to the BCF entity over a blockchain network interface. The BCF entity sends a confirmation of the charging request, and the NF entity, based on the confirmation, provisions the network resources to the UE.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein sending the charging request based on the CDR further causes the BCF entity to authenticate the blockchain credentials and deduct an amount corresponding to the one or more network resources in an account associated with the UE.
