提案编号：13-38105PI(s)：朱叶；考夫曼，米隆；王浩东;熊福琴; Yu, Chansu 机构：克利夫兰州立大学 标题：MRI/Acq.：4G/LTE 无线通信测试装置 项目建议：该项目购买 E6621A PXT 4G/LTE 无线通信测试装置，旨在开展以下研究：- 4G 通信的安全和隐私，- 大规模、混乱场所中的快速室内定位，- 4G 移动通信的高效调制和编码，- 采用统计物理方法表征无线信道中的噪声，所提出的系统还将支持需要多学科方法的复杂主题的研究，包括：检测 4G 网络中的安全攻击和隐私泄露的混合方法，4G 网络的跨层设计，以及室内定位系统的调制支持。由于多功能且高度集成的系统支持通过射频参数测量和 MIMO 操作等功能进行物理层研究，网络和上层通过协议记录和分析以及消息编辑器等功能进行研究，因此该仪器应有助于这些项目。此外，此次收购支持的研究将影响广泛的科学和工程领域，如数字通信、网络、分布式计算、移动计算、网络安全和隐私、信息系统和物理学。 更广泛的影响：此次收购将有助于开发新的实验室、项目和七门课程的讲座，并为学生提供实践经验。 该工具还将为本科生（通过高级设计项目、暑期本科生研究和独立研究项目）以及研究生和博士生提供宝贵的研究经验。电气工程、计算机工程、计算机和信息科学以及物理学的学生。该大学还积极让少数族裔、女性和弱势背景的学生参与研究。因此，该仪器将为完善的外展项目做出贡献，例如 NSF 资助的 CSUTeach 项目 (0934842)，该项目旨在提高高中科学和数学教师的质量，以及芬恩学院 (Fenn Academy)，芬恩学院是芬恩工程学院与一群高中和当地企业之间的联盟（旨在通过高质量的工程预科项目吸引学生进入工程领域）。该工具还将为一些当地公司提供支持。

Proposal #: 13-38105PI(s): Zhu, Ye; Kaufman, Miron; Wang, Haodong; Xiong, Fuqin; Yu, ChansuInstitution: Cleveland State University Title: MRI/Acq.: A 4G/LTE Wireless Communication Test SetProject Proposed:This project, acquiring an E6621A PXT 4G/LTE wireless communication test set, aims to enable studies on:- Security and privacy of 4G communications,- Fast indoor positioning in large-scale, chaotic venues,- Efficient modulation and coding for 4G mobile communications,- Characterization of noise in wireless channels with statistical physics approaches, and- Security of medical communication systems.The proposed system would also enable research on complex topics that require multidisciplinary approaches, including- Hybrid approaches to detect security attacks and privacy leakage in 4G networks,- Cross layer design for 4G networks, and- Modulation support for indoor positioning systems.Since the versatile and highly integrated system supports conducting both physical layer research through features such as RF parametric measurement and MIMO operation, and network and upper layer conducts research through features such as protocol logging and analysis and message editor, this instrumentation should facilitate these projects. Moreover, the research supported by the acquisition would impact a wide range of scientific and engineering fields such as digital communications, networking, distributed computing, mobile computing, network security and privacy, information systems, and physics.Broader Impacts:This acquisition would enable the development of new labs, projects, and lectures in seven courses and would provide students with hands-on experiences. The instrument would also provide valuable research experiences to undergraduates (through senior design projects, summer undergraduate research, and independent study research projects) and graduate Masters and Ph.D. students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer and information science, and physics. The university has also been actively involving minority, women, and disadvantaged background students in research. Thus, the instrument will contribute in the well-established outreach programs such as NSF-funded CSUTeach program (0934842) which is designed to improve the quality of high school science and math teachers, and the Fenn Academy, a consortium between the Fenn College of Engineering and a group of high schools and local corporations (established to attract students to engineering fields through high-quality pre-engineering programs). The instrument would also lend support to some local companies.
