“…According to the authors, usage of blockchain increases transparency and regulates access to the data traded within the marketplace. In [67] authors describe a DLT-based marketplace for IoT sensor data trading. The interesting part of the proposal is that authors use IOTA [24] distributed ledger as a data storage solution, while the overall marketplace is designed to be blockchain agnostic.…”

Digital marketplaces were created recently to accelerate the delivery of applications and services to customers. Their appealing feature is to activate and dynamize the demand, supply, and development of digital goods, applications, or services.By being an intermediary between producer and consumer, the primary business model for a marketplace is to charge the producer with a commission on the amount paid by the consumer. However, most of the time, the commission is dictated by the marketplace facilitator itself and creates an imbalance in value distribution, where producer and consumer sides suffer monetarily. In order to eliminate the need for a centralized entity between the producer and consumer, a blockchain-based decentralized digital marketplace concept was introduced. It provides marketplace actors with the tools to perform business transactions in a trusted manner and without the need for an intermediary.In this work, we provide a survey on Telecommunication Services Marketplaces (TSMs) which employ blockchain technology as the main trust enabling entity in order to avoid any intermediaries. We provide an overview of scientific and industrial proposals on the blockchain-based online digital marketplaces at large, and TSMs in particular. We consider in this study the notion of telecommunication services as any service enabling the capability for information transfer and, increasingly, information processing provided to a group of users by a telecommunications system. We discuss the main standardization activities around the concepts of TSMs and provide particular use-cases for the TSM business transactions such as SLA settlement. Also, we provide insights into the main foundational services provided by the TSM, as well as a survey of the scientific and industrial proposals for such services. Finally, a prospect for future developments is given.

“…Another one proposal is Zecale [43] which is a general-purpose proof aggregator that uses a recursive composition of small arguments. Yet another approach is Hermes [42], which is a platform for trading sensor data, using distributed ledgers as intermediaries to add safeguards against malicious behavior. Other approaches are Raiden [44] and Lightning [45].…”

In this article we present the technological foundations on which an ecosystem of semantic data objects can be implemented on the latest Blockchain based systems. As the most important citizens among the semantic data objects are ontologies, the ecosystem is referred to as Ontospace. The foundations can be characterized by their architectural, cryptographic and transactional aspects. The architectural aspect borrows from the latest Layer-2 protocols of the 3rd generation blockchains and from the rules of Linked Data systems creation. The cryptographic aspect represents an original work that attempts to resolve the issue of efficient hashing of the graph data structures. The transactional aspect is concerned with the graph replication consistency, conditions for the direct access to graph data from the blockchain smart-contracts and with linkage between sidechains bearing semantic objects and the main network. The large parts of the work were implemented in the context of the Ontochain project -a part of the Next Generation Internet EU Initiative.

“…Nonetheless, the IOTA created the quorum-based computations (Qubic) protocol [ 66 , 67 ], which brings the smart contract functionality to the Tangle. Due to the low energy cost of transactions, IOTA is being applied to monetize IoT devices, creating what is being called a things data market [ 68 , 69 ]. A DSA with IOTA could therefore monetize the supporting IoT network by their work regarding spectrum sensing via SSIoT devices.…”

The radio-frequency spectrum shortage, which is primarily caused by the fixed allocation policy, is one of the main bottlenecks to the deployment of existing wireless communication networks, and to the development of new ones. The dynamic spectrum access policy is foreseen as the solution to this problem, since it allows shared spectrum usage by primary licensed and secondary unlicensed networks. In order to turn this policy into reality, the secondary network must be capable of acquiring reliable, real-time information on available bands within the service area, which can be achieved by means of spectrum sensing, spectrum occupancy databases, or a combination of them. This Review presents guidelines related to the design of a framework that can be adopted to foster dynamic spectrum access policies. The framework applies special-purpose Internet of Things (IoT) devices that perform spectrum sensing, subsequently feeding a spectrum occupancy database, which in turn will be used by the secondary network to gather information on location-dependent spectrum availability. The guidelines address technological enablers capable of making the framework feasible, reliable and secure.
