论文摘要
为了启用用户漫游，蜂窝生态系统整合了许多实体和程序，包括连接移动网络运营商（MNOS），业务合作伙伴关系或使用第三方数据清算房屋（DCHS）进行计费的特定基础架构。其中许多依赖于植根于过时和奥术实践的规格，涉及漫长的等待期限，用于财务清算，复杂的计费模型以及用于处理MNO间争端的不同机制。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的解决方案，骰子（细胞生态系统的动态互连），旨在促进MNO之间的动态协作，并维持最终用户和MNO之间的流体互连模型。 DICE使用分布式分类帐技术（DLT）使MNO直接互动，并通过使用加密货币为其用户提供可定制的服务。我们利用欧洲主要运营MNO的现实世界数据来支持我们的主张，并提取骰子系统的要求。我们介绍了骰子协议，并讨论现实世界实施注意事项。
To enable roaming of users, the cellular ecosystem integrates many entities and procedures, including specific infrastructure to connect Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), business partnerships or the use of third-party Data Clearing Houses (DCHs) for billing. Many of these rely on specifications rooted in dated and arcane practices, involving long waiting periods for financial clearing, complex billing models, and disparate mechanisms for dealing with inter-MNO disputes. In this paper, we propose a novel solution, DICE (Dynamic Interconnections for the Cellular Ecosystem), aimed at facilitating dynamic collaboration between MNOs, and sustain fluid interconnection models between the end-users and MNOs. DICE uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable MNOs to interact directly, and offer customizable services to their users through the use of crypto-currencies. We leverage real-world data from a major operational MNO in Europe to support our claims, and to extract the requirements for the DICE system. We introduce the DICE protocol, and discuss real-world implementation considerations.
