Abstract

In a wireless communication network, index circuitry transfers a reference Distributed Ledger (DL) request to reference circuitry. The reference circuitry transfers a response indicating a reference DL ID to the index circuitry. The index circuitry transfers the reference DL ID to the wireless communication network. The reference circuitry receives usage data and the reference DL ID from the wireless communication network. The reference circuitry stores the usage data in reference DL blocks, generates a usage abstraction of the usage data, and transfers the reference DL ID and the usage abstraction to the index circuitry. The index circuitry stores the usage abstraction and the reference DL ID in index DL blocks. The index circuitry receives requests having the reference DL ID and returns the usage abstraction. The reference circuitry receives requests having the reference DL ID and usage abstraction ID and returns the usage data.
