Historical static spectrum allocation has led to an artificial spectrum scarcity, leaving no usable spectrum for future wireless networks. Dynamic spectrum access is the ideal solution to break such scarcity and make spectrum available to new wireless networks. However, without providing proper reliability guarantees, dynamic spectrum access is unacceptable to many networks and services. Thus, instead of focusing solely on improving spectrum utilization, dynamic spectrum access should provide reliable spectrum usage that meets network's individual needs. This research develops SAFIRE, a robust architecture for dynamic spectrum access that provides reliable and efficient spectrum usage to large wireless networks. This research holds great practical values for wireless network designers and service providers who rely on available and reliable spectrum access to deploy and advance their networks.Recognizing the fundamental tradeoffs between spectrum utilization and reliability, this research focuses on efficient algorithms to meet individual networks? reliability requirements while improving spectrum utilization. The investigators will develop statistical mechanisms to proactively regulate spectrum demands based on their reliability requirements, and apply distributed coordination and cross-layer design to quickly adapt spectrum allocations and application patterns to network and spectrum dynamics. To support large-scale dynamic networks, this research focuses on computational-efficient mechanisms with minimum management overhead. These advancements will help attract large commercial interests into dynamic spectrum systems, facilitating their wide adoption. Finally, the investigators will use this research as a basis to develop interdisciplinary computer science training across both software and hardware layers.

历史上的静态频谱分配导致了人为的频谱稀缺，没有为未来的无线网络留下可用的频谱。动态频谱接入是打破这种稀缺性并使频谱可用于新无线网络的理想解决方案。 然而，在不提供适当的可靠性保证的情况下，动态频谱接入对于许多网络和服务是不可接受的。 因此，动态频谱接入应该提供满足网络的个体需求的可靠频谱使用，而不是仅仅关注于提高频谱利用率。该研究开发了SAFIRE，这是一种强大的动态频谱接入架构，为大型无线网络提供可靠且高效的频谱使用。 这项研究具有很大的实用价值，无线网络设计师和服务提供商谁依赖于可用和可靠的频谱接入部署和推进他们的networks.Recognizing频谱利用率和可靠性之间的根本权衡，这项研究的重点是有效的算法，以满足个别网络？可靠性要求，同时提高频谱利用率。研究人员将开发统计机制，根据可靠性要求主动调节频谱需求，并应用分布式协调和跨层设计，快速调整频谱分配和应用模式，以适应网络和频谱动态。 为了支持大规模的动态网络，本研究的重点是计算效率与最小的管理开销的机制。 这些进步将有助于吸引大量的商业利益进入动态频谱系统，促进其广泛采用。 最后，研究人员将以这项研究为基础，开发跨软件和硬件层的跨学科计算机科学培训。
