This Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR) project brings together major companies and universities in the development of a wireless communications ecosystem to commercialize breakthrough technologies that promise to increase the capacity of today's wireless cellular networks by over 1000 times. Specifically, three existing technologies will be relied upon to create a prototype stage for integration by wireless handset makers and infrastructure providers as well as incorporation into next-generation cellular standards. These technologies are: (i) millimeter-wave (mmWave) cellular systems that can move cellular communication to new bands between 20 and 120 GHz where between 50 and 100 times more spectrum are readily available; (ii) relaying and distributed coordination techniques to enable ultra low-cost small, self-organizing cells that increase the numbers of cell sites by orders of magnitude; and (iii) full duplex communication that can double communication bandwidth and facilitate beamforming techniques essential for mmWave cellular systems.Given the enormous market size of the cellular industry ($1 trillion worldwide), combined with the pressing need for solutions to solve the spectrum crunch, the breakthrough technologies in this proposal will offer tremendous market value, return on investment, and opportunities for employment. This AIR project provides a path for both industry and academia to develop key products and knowledge that will impact the standard-setting process of the wireless industry, while bringing massive increases in data throughputs to cellular networks throughout the U.S.

这项加速创新研究（AIR）项目将主要公司和大学汇集在一起​​，开发了无线通信生态系统，以商业化突破性技术，有望将当今的无线蜂窝网络的能力增加1000倍以上。具体而言，将依靠三种现有技术来创建一个原型阶段，以通过无线手机制造商和基础架构提供商集成，并将其纳入下一代蜂窝标准。这些技术是：（i）可以将细胞通信转移到20至120 GHz之间的细胞通信的细胞系统，其中容易获得50至100倍的光谱； （ii）继电器和分布的协调技术，以实现超低成本的自组织，以通过数量级来增加细胞位点的数量； （iii）完整的双工沟通，可以使MMWave Cellular系统必不可少的沟通带宽并促进波束成型技术。启动了蜂窝行业的巨大市场规模（全球1万亿美元），加上迫切需要的解决方案的需求，使得Spectrum Crunch Crunch sollunch Crunch，在此计划中，将在投资上提供巨大的投资，并提供巨大的市场价值。 该航空项目为行业和学术界都提供了一条开发关键产品和知识的途径，这将影响无线行业的标准设定过程，同时将数据吞吐量的大量增加到美国的蜂窝网络增加
