Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Broadband Wireless Technologies and Applications

圣母大学宽带无线技术与应用产学研合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的新中心将补充现有的中心？通过关注新兴无线技术、经济和监管政策挑战来开展美国的活动。该网站打算在蜂窝数据收集、分析和可视化等领域开发一种有凝聚力和综合的方法来应对宽带研究挑战。异构网络建模、分析与设计；电磁辐射暴露；频谱共享;车辆通信;跨机器无线;众包方法和先进电路。正如白宫PCAST报告中提到的那样，该中心解决了一个关键的经济领域，并具有支持宽带无线发展作为创新平台的潜力。位于圣母大学的中心网站有潜力将宽带行业中更多样化的成员公司与大学联系起来，这是该领域更广泛的发现基础。该网站将为学生提供早期接触工业所关注的问题和采用的方法。教育和职业发展。未被充分代表的本科生和研究生将通过现场现有机制招募到该计划，例如无线网络实验研究中的REU计划（ERWiN），其中超过40%的参与者来自过去五年未被充分代表的群体。

The new center site of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Broadband Wireless Technologies and Applications at the University of Notre Dame will complement the existing center?s activities through a focus on emerging wireless technology, economics, and regulatory policy challenges. The site intends to develop a cohesive and integrative approach to broadband research challenges in areas including cellular data collection, analytics, & visualization; heterogeneous network modeling, analysis, and design; electromagnetic radiation exposure; spectrum sharing; vehicular communications; inter-machine wireless; crowd-sourced approaches and advanced circuitry.The center site addresses an area of critical economic and has the potential to support development of broadband wireless as a platform for innovation as addressed in the White House PCAST Report. The center site at Notre Dame has the potential to link an even greater diversity of member companies across the broadband industry sector with university a broader base of discovery in this area. The site will provide early exposure to the concerns of and approaches employed in industry in students? education and career development. Underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students will be recruited to the program through existing mechanisms at the site such as the REU program in Experimental Research on Wireless Networking (ERWiN), in which more than 40% of the participants were from underrepresented groups over the last five years.
