1. A system for real-time dynamic radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocation and/or reallocation, comprising:
at least one receiver for measuring a RF environment to create measured data, the at least one receiver in communication with at least one processor coupled with a memory, operable to process the measured data to generate analyzed data for RF awareness of the environment;
wherein the system is operable to learn the RF environment to create RF awareness data, create metadata for the RF awareness data based on customer goals and/or government regulations, and create actionable data to identify at least one signal of interest for dynamic spectrum sharing based on the metadata;
a smart contract to scale signal power and adjust a beamforming angle of at least one signal in real time based on the at least one signal of interest for the dynamic spectrum sharing, the smart contract is operable to be executed automatically on a blockchain platform; and
wherein the smart contract is operable to determine an interference compliance record for a party based on the smart contract and the scaling the signal power of at least one signal;
wherein the blockchain platform creates an immutable ledger for the smart contract execution;
wherein the interference compliance record is automatically provided according to the smart contract;
wherein the blockchain platform utilizes sidechains that run parallel to a primary blockchain for the dynamic spectrum sharing; and
wherein the sidechains are operable to be utilized in the smart contract execution for specific spectrum bands, regulatory jurisdictions, and/or specific services.
