The collaborative project focuses on the deployment of a complete, scalable, multi-tiered and integrated wireless mobile infrastructure at urban scale that addresses: 1. at-scale design and evaluation of network protocols; and 2. the compilation and analysis of medical health data collected via the integration of medical health sensors into the wireless network. This collaborative project team will develop, deploy, and operate an information technology infrastructure that serves as a platform for research and societal change. The key innovations of this project and platform are: 1. A multi-tier wireless access network with fully programmable and observable nodes that serves 4,000 users over 4 km2 (an at-scale density surpassing existing deployments), 2. A fully instrumented and deployed mobile computing platform that enables joint assessment of user behavior and end system performance, providing energy-efficient and user-friendly access to the network, and 3. A deployed wireless health-sensing platform that monitors and processes physiological data and seamlessly interconnects it with the mobile-computing and wireless network platforms to enable radically new low-cost treatments for chronic diseases. The research infrastructure will be deployed in an under-resourced area, Pecan Park, a community in the heart of Southeast Houston with 4,760 residents per km2, a density that is unprecedented for research and has not been reached even by commercial mesh deployments. This scale provides a replicable and sustainable template of what is possible in similar communities world-wide. The infrastructure serves as both a platform for societal change and a platform for research innovation and proof-of-concept system design.

该合作项目的重点是部署一个完整的，可扩展的，多层和集成的无线移动的基础设施在城市规模，解决：1。网络协议的大规模设计和评估;以及2.通过将医疗健康传感器集成到无线网络中，对收集的医疗健康数据进行编辑和分析。这个合作项目团队将开发、部署和运营一个信息技术基础设施，作为研究和社会变革的平台。本项目和平台的主要创新点是：1.具有完全可编程和可观察节点的多层无线接入网络，在4平方公里范围内为4，000个用户提供服务（规模密度超过现有部署），2.一个完全仪表化和部署的移动的计算平台，能够对用户行为和终端系统性能进行联合评估，提供节能和用户友好的网络访问，以及3.一个部署的无线健康传感平台，可监控和处理生理数据，并将其与移动计算和无线网络平台无缝互连，以实现慢性病的全新低成本治疗。研究基础设施将部署在资源不足的地区，Pecan Park，这是休斯顿东南部中心的一个社区，每平方公里有4，760名居民，这是研究前所未有的密度，即使是商业网格部署也没有达到。这一规模提供了一个可复制和可持续的模板，在世界各地的类似社区是可能的。该基础设施既是社会变革的平台，也是研究创新和概念验证系统设计的平台。
