Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) addresses the
underutilized spectrum allocation issues associated with static
spectrum allocation. Blockchain is a critical enabler for imple-
menting a DSA system because it allows untrusted parties to
conduct business, such as spectrum buying and selling, without
the involvement of a trusted third party. A blockchain...
The expansion of telecommunication providers and their efforts to expand network coverage in Sri Lanka has led to an alarming increase in Radio Frequency (RF) radiation exposure. This heightened exposure has raised concerns about its potential adverse effects on human health. Despite the country's growing number of cancer cases, no apparent cause h...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly spreading across a wide range of applications because it is a critical technology for overcoming interoperability and heterogeneity barriers in many applications. IoT is increasingly being deployed in a distributed setting because of the vast number of devices and the physical dispersal of many use cases. Bec...
The exponential growth in connected devices with Internet-of-Things (IoT) and next-generation wireless networks requires more advanced and dynamic spectrum access mechanisms. Blockchain-based approaches to Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) seem efficient and robust due to their inherited characteristics such as decentralization, immutability and transp...
Optimal use of scarce radio spectrum is essential in the proliferation of beyond 5G networks, and promising blockchain technology offers various benefits for the spectrum management. However, existing blockchain-based solutions are expensive, nonoptimized, and lack spectrum fraud detection. This article proposes a novel consensus mechanism for a bl...
The advent of 5G has sparked interest in Wi-Fi offloading techniques that enable efficient resource sharing and congestion management of wireless communication spectrum. However, offloading data between multiple networks (i.e. service providers) requires costly inter-provider communication which has a substantial overhead as well as high offloading...
