The increasing demand for diverse wireless communication technologies necessitates efficient spectrum utilization. Energy detection-based spectrum sensing is a widely adopted technique for identifying available frequency bands. However, challenges such as trust issues, data integrity, and centralized control limitations can hamper its effectiveness. In this research, we explore the potential of blockchain technology in enhancing energy detection-based spectrum sensing by providing a decentralized and secure framework. Experimental results showing probability of detection and missed detection performance simulated in MATLAB demonstrate the effectiveness of blockchain-enhanced energy detection approach.
