Blockchain-Enabled Dynamic Spectrum Usage Rights: A Framework for 5G/6G Spectrum Allocation and Pricing

The advent of 5G and 6G networks demands more efficient spectrum allocation methods. This paper proposes a blockchain-based framework for dynamic spectrum usage rights, addressing limitations of traditional static allocations. We present a novel pricing model that incorporates multiple factors affecting spectrum value and demonstrate its implementation using DAML (Digital Asset Modeling Language) smart contract platform on the Canton ledger interoperability blockchain protocol. The proposed model offers increased efficiency, transparency, and flexibility in spectrum management, paving the way for optimized utilization in next-generation wireless networks.
