提案编号：13- 38105 PI（s）：Zhu，Ye;考夫曼，Miron; Wang，Haodong; Xiong，Fuqin; Yu，Chansu机构：克利夫兰州立大学标题： MRI/采集：4G/LTE无线通信测试仪项目建议：本项目采购E6621 A PXT 4G/LTE无线通信测试仪，旨在进行以下研究：-4G通信的安全性和隐私性，-在大规模混乱场所中的快速室内定位，-用于4G移动的通信的高效调制和编码，-用统计物理方法表征无线信道中的噪声，以及-医疗通信系统的安全性。拟议的系统还将使需要多学科方法的复杂主题的研究成为可能，包括-检测4G网络中的安全攻击和隐私泄漏的混合方法，-4G网络的跨层设计，和-室内定位系统的调制支持。由于多功能和高度集成的系统支持通过RF参数测量和MIMO操作等功能进行物理层研究，以及通过协议记录和分析以及消息编辑器等功能进行网络和上层研究，因此该仪器应有助于这些项目。此外，此次收购所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、移动的计算、网络安全和隐私、信息系统和物理。更广泛的影响：此次收购将使新的实验室、项目和七门课程的讲座得以开发，并将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，夏季本科生研究和独立研究项目）和研究生硕士和博士提供宝贵的研究经验。电子工程、计算机工程、计算机和信息科学以及物理学专业的学生。该大学还积极让少数民族，妇女和弱势背景的学生参与研究。因此，该仪器将有助于完善的推广计划，如国家科学基金会资助的CSUTeach计划（0934842），旨在提高高中科学和数学教师的质量，和芬恩学院，工程的芬恩学院和一组高中和当地企业之间的财团（建立吸引学生通过高质量的工程预科课程工程领域）。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.
