Internet of Things (IoT) plays an essential contribution in connecting devices and enabling seamless data exchange, leading to increased efficiency and convenience. However, security concerns in IoT systems are significant, as compromised devices can lead to data breaches and privacy violations. Blockchain technology can enhance IoT security by providing decentralized consensus, immutability, and transparent transaction records, ensuring secure and trustworthy communication and data integrity. This review article gives a succinct but thorough understanding of blockchain technology, covering architecture of blockchain, working principles, types, applications, platforms, and its role in the IoT environment. The study highlights potential benefits of blockchain like enhanced security and privacy, and explores its integration with IoT. Additionally, the study discusses various real-world applications, examines blockchain platforms, and addresses the limitations and challenges associated with blockchain technology. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of blockchain's potential and its implications in the IoT landscape.INDEX TERMS Blockchain, Data Exchange, Internet of Things (IoT), Privacy, Security.

The rapid increase in mobile users, the IoT, and data-hungry applications have brought forth unprecedented demand on the spectrum, which is scarce; on top of that, the existing static spectrum allocation schemes have resulted in a heavily underutilized spectrum which can be mitigated with a Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) scheme with unlicensed users gaining access to the idle spectrum bands of licensed spectrum users opportunistically. Such a DSA and Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) scheme would significantly increase spectral efficiency while facilitating new services and applications beyond 5G (B5G) networks. Even with access to new spectrum bands like terahertz (THz) and Visible light communication and enabling technologies such as Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Cognitive Radio (CR), implementing a fully realized DSM requires rapid sensing, coordination, and management, and sharing of idle spectrum bands in a fair manner while preserving the security and privacy aspects, limiting interferences. With their decentralized, immutable nature, blockchains promise the execution of spectrum access and sharing in a fully transparent, fair manner while preserving privacy and security. Furthermore, blockchain-based Smart Contracts (SCs) allow automation of DSM, cryptocurrencies, and tokens to facilitate the trading of spectrum and related resources. In addition to that, blockchains act as an interface for integrating AI and Machine Learning (ML) techniques into DSM, which provides a certain level of intelligence to the underlying architecture. Although several attempts have been carried out to analyze the research gaps in DSM, a comprehensive analysis addressing the blockchains as the primary solution to address DSM has not been carried out. In this survey, we address the potential of a blockchainbased approach toward realizing a decentralized DSM while presenting future directives to improve the use of blockchains for DSM.
