I/UCRC Phase I: BWAC@NDWI: Broadband Wireless Access and Applications Center at the Notre Dame Wireless Institute

NDWI正在新兴的无线技术，经济和监管政策挑战领域进行研究。将NDWI网站添加到BWAC有助于将这些领域的知识转移给行业成员。与工业伙伴的密切合作将确保研究具有实际意义的问题，从而将技术直接转让给创新和实用的无线系统。多样化的研究团队，具有专业知识，从射频电路设计和电磁学，通信系统信号处理和编码，空间统计，可视化和应用程序开发，将确保无线系统设计的许多关键方面得到一致解决。基础研究将与从硬件水平到大规模现场研究的强大实验验证相结合。通过NDWIs合作研究计划开发的技术和解决方案将可能影响全球无线标准，软件和硬件组件以及网络部署。基础和应用研究活动将涉及尖端研究的本科生和研究生，在与现代无线网络相关的多个学科中对他们进行培训。早期接触的关注和行业的方法将是无价的学生？教育和职业发展。将利用几种机制来吸引代表性不足的本科生和研究生参加该计划，例如，无线网络实验研究（ERWiN）。

NDWI is conducting research in the area of emerging wireless technology, economics, and regulatory policy challenges. Addition of NDWI site to BWAC facilitates the transfer of knowledge from these areas to industry members. Close collaboration with industrial partners will ensure that problems of practical relevance are studied, resulting in direct technology transfer into innovative and practical wireless systems. The diverse research team, with expertise ranging from RF circuit design and electromagnetics, communication systems signal processing and coding, spatial statistics, visualization, and application development, will ensure that many critical aspects of wireless system design are addressed cohesively. Basic research will be combined with robust experimental validation from the hardware level up to large-scale field studies.Techniques and solutions developed through NDWIs cooperative research program will potentially impact worldwide wireless standards, software and hardware components, and network deployments. The basic and applied research activities will involve undergraduate and graduate students in cutting-edge research, training them in multiple disciplines relevant to modern wireless networks. Early exposure to the concerns and the approaches in industry will be invaluable in students? education and career development. Several mechanisms will be utilized to attract underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students to the program, e.g., REU program in Experimental Research on Wireless Networking (ERWiN).
