| Counsel: | Firm: Panitch Schwarze Belisario Nadel LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Sidharth Goel (Kotkapura, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method for expedited inclusion of pre-authorized blockchain transactions in new blocks. A blockchain node will utilize a traditional pending transaction pool of unconfirmed transactions, but will also utilize a new transaction pool that is comprised of pending blockchain transactions that have been confirmed, but have not yet been added to the blockchain. When a new block is being generated by a node, they can select pending transactions from the confirmed transaction pool and include them in the new block without repeating the confirmation process, which can save time and computing resources, thereby enabling the new block to be generated faster and increasing the chance that the new block will be the one that is validated and added to the chain. Additional rules and criteria can be applied to ensure that transactions that are in the confirmed transaction pool are added to a new block in a timely fashion. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A multi-domain telecommunication network may use a blockchain with an activation block to activate a reserved connection path for a service. The network may use a correction block in the blockchain to efficiently and timely perform a crank-back procedure. A management node of a domain of the network may act as an activation miner send activation messages to management nodes of other domains of the network, the management nodes may perform activation for their respective portions of the connection path reserved by the activation block. The management node acting as the activation miner may verify activation of reserved resources and, in case of failure, generate a correction Block to lock the failed resources and to release the resources affected by the crank-back process. Subsequent blockchain decisions and calculations may reflect the actual status of network resources. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods for locating microserver nodes in proximity to edge devices using georouting. Microservers automatically form a global peer-to-peer network to serve edge functions and content to edge devices. Edge devices use HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to execute serverless functions or otherwise retrieve data from edge nodes and/or microservers located in proximity to the HTTP client. The cloud platform locates the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Edge devices georoute HTTP requests to the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Serverless functions are implemented in secure, isolated environments using a blockchain. |
