Abstract
A blockchain-enabled service-based cloud native function (CNF) architecture including an application service mesh network comprising a plurality of applications configured to communicate with each other. A plurality of smart contracts including network slicing information from the application service mesh network are recorded to a blockchain network. The network slicing information is related to one or more of a standard protocol network exposure function (NEF), a standard protocol service communication proxy (SCP), and a standard protocol network repository function (NRF).
