Abstract

A method and a spectrum owner system are described. The spectrum owner system records, in a distributed ledger network, a list of spectrum resources licensed from a regulatory authority system to the spectrum owner system. The spectrum owner system receives an authorization request for a spectrum allocation of spectrum resources, where the spectrum allocation includes at least a desired interval of time for usage of the spectrum resources by a radio access network of a spectrum renter, a desired location for usage of the spectrum resources by the radio access network, and additional characteristics of the spectrum resources. The spectrum owner system negotiates agreement terms for the desired spectrum allocation; and records, in the distributed ledger network, a hash of the spectrum allocation, where the spectrum allocation enables the radio access network of the spectrum renter to provide radio access services to wireless network devices.
