Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of receiving a smart contract for tracking a position of a mobile device from a quantum blockchain; issuing a token uniquely identifying location data for the position of the mobile device; receiving location data including the token from the mobile device, wherein the position of the mobile device is determined by displacement from an initial position using a quantum accelerometer; verifying the location data using the token; and storing the location data in the quantum blockchain. Other embodiments are disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a smart contract for tracking a position of a mobile device from a quantum blockchain;
issuing a token uniquely identifying location data for the position of the mobile device;
receiving location data including the token from the mobile device, wherein the position of the mobile device is determined by displacement from an initial position using a quantum accelerometer;
verifying the location data using the token; and
storing the location data in the quantum blockchain.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise: fixing the initial position of the mobile device.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the initial position is determined by downlink time difference of arrival, uplink time difference of arrival, downlink angle of departure, uplink angle of departure, multi-cell round trip time, enhanced cell ID, downlink reference signal reference power, downlink reference signal time difference, global positioning system, quantum positioning system, or a combination thereof.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the location data comprises: environmental data, climate data, photo/video data, transportation data, human mobility data, social data, or a combination thereof.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the location data comprises latitude, longitude and height above terrain.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the location data comprises pitch, yaw and rotation.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the location data is compatible with tracking the mobile device in a Space-Air-Ground-Integrated-Network (SAGIN) environment.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise: receiving updated location data from the mobile device, verifying the updated location data using the token; and storing the updated location data in the quantum blockchain.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the updated location data comprises a new position for the mobile device, wherein the new position is determined by the quantum accelerometer.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the device comprises a quantum clock and wherein the operations further comprise synchronizing the quantum clock with a reference clock.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the quantum clock is synchronized with the reference clock by quantum entanglement.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processing system comprises a plurality of processors operating in a distributed computing environment.

13. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a smart contract for tracking a position of a mobile device from a quantum blockchain;
issuing a token uniquely identifying location data for the position of the mobile device;
fixing an initial position of the mobile device;
receiving location data including the token from the mobile device, wherein the position of the mobile device is determined by displacement from the initial position using a quantum accelerometer;
verifying the location data using the token; and
storing the location data in the quantum blockchain.

14. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the initial position is determined by downlink time difference of arrival, uplink time difference of arrival, downlink angle of departure, uplink angle of departure, multi-cell round trip time, enhanced cell ID, downlink reference signal reference power, downlink reference signal time difference, global positioning system, quantum positioning system, or a combination thereof.

15. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving updated location data from the mobile device;
verifying the updated location data using the token; and
storing the updated location data in the quantum blockchain.

16. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the location data comprises latitude, longitude and height above terrain.

17. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the location data comprises pitch, yaw and rotation.

18. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the processing system comprises a plurality of processors operating in a distributed computing environment.

19. A method, comprising:
requesting, by a processing system including a processor, a smart contract for tracking a position of a mobile device from a quantum blockchain;
issuing, by the processing system, a token uniquely identifying location data for the position of the mobile device responsive to receiving the smart contract;
receiving, by the processing system, the location data including the token from the mobile device, wherein the position of the mobile device is determined by displacement from an initial position using a quantum accelerometer;
verifying, by the processing system, the location data using the token; and
storing, by the processing system, the location data in the quantum blockchain.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:
receiving, by the processing system, updated location data from the mobile device;
verifying, by the processing system, the updated location data using the token; and
storing, by the processing system, the updated location data in the quantum blockchain.
