Blockchain Cooperative Spectrum Management for Wi-Fi and LTE-Unlicensed Coexistence Networks

Efficiently running services in the worldwide scattered spectrum bands is increasingly difficult as those bands get ever more congested. Unlicensed spectrum offers a promising solution but effective coexistence among access technologies is required to mitigate interference and ensure the always more stringent Quality of Service required by new services. Besides, the increasing number and complexity of security threats further challenge system reliability. To address these issues, this paper prop
