Abstract
A digital currency driven channel assignment technique is disclosed. Each AP in a distributed network uses a channel selection manager and a distributed ledger to select channels according to a channel assignment and a digital currency associated with the distributed ledger. The digital currency incentivizes APs to make sacrifices in their channel selection for the benefit of the overall network while punishing APs that select channels selfishly and cause bandwidth interference.
