1. A method for a user equipment, comprising:
sending user information from the user equipment to a wireless access network device for generating a proof of location indication transaction for a distributed ledger on the basis of spatiotemporal information associated with the user information,
detecting, by the user equipment, a proof of location request transaction provided to the distributed ledger by a proof of location requesting device, wherein the proof of location request transaction identifies the proof of the location indication transaction, and
causing, by the user equipment, provision of a response to the proof of the location request transaction to the distributed ledger, the response indicating user's willingness to provide the user information associated with the proof of location indication transaction,
wherein at least the proof of the location indication transaction is stored in a public blockchain ledger and a private blockchain ledger is maintained by wireless access network devices or wireless access network service providers for controlling access to the user information.
