Blockchain for Dynamic Spectrum Management

Blockchain is believed to bring new opportunities to dynamic spectrum management (DSM). With features of blockchain, the traditional spectrum management method, such as the spectrum auction, can be improved. It can also help to overcome the challenges about the security or the lack of incentive mechanisms for collaboration in DSM. Moreover, with blockchain, spectrum usage of the DSM system can be recorded in a decentralized manner. In this chapter, we will discuss the potentials of blockchain for spectrum management in a systematic way and using multiple case studies.
