Abstract

The blockchain technology written in smart contract has the advantages of the enabling intelligent settlement, value transfer and resource sharing, which provides a new secure and trusted platform for the dynamic spectrum sharing system. In this paper, we first summarize the application of blockchain technology in dynamic spectrum sharing considering the requirements of spectrum sharing. Then we discuss the key problems that need to be solved when applying blockchain to large-scale spectrum sharing system. After that, we analyze the key challenges in depth, and provide corresponding key technologies and possible solutions to the above problems.
