1. A system for real-time dynamic radio frequency (RF) spectrum allocation and/or reallocation, comprising:
at least one processor coupled with at least one memory; and
a blockchain platform;
wherein the system is operable to form a knowledge map based on power level measurements within an RF environment;
wherein the system is operable to create impressions of the RF environment based on the knowledge map using a machine learning algorithm and update RF awareness data based on the impressions of the RF environment;
wherein the system is operable to identify a scenario for dynamic spectrum sharing based on the RF awareness data;
wherein the blockchain platform is operable to execute a smart contract to allocate and/or reallocate at least one portion of the RF spectrum in real time based on the identified scenario for the dynamic spectrum sharing;
wherein the blockchain platform is operable to determine a compensation for a first party based on the RF spectrum allocation and/or reallocation, computational resources used, services provided to a second party, and signal parameters from the RF awareness data;
wherein the blockchain platform utilizes sidechains and consortium blockchains for the dynamic spectrum sharing; and
wherein the sidechains run parallel to a primary blockchain, and are operable to be utilized in the execution of the smart contract for specific spectrum bands, regulatory jurisdictions, specific services and/or clients;
wherein the blockchain platform is operable to bridge with both public and private blockchains based on a client and a situation;
wherein the compensation is further based on a classification of at least one signal and/or a category of at least one signal; and
wherein the first party and the second party must agree to the compensation based on a set agreement for implementation of the smart contract.
