This funding establishes a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Purdue University Calumet. Undergraduate students recruited from across the nation will participate in summer research projects focused on sustainable wireless communications. The research involves exploration of topics related to the almost pervasive use of devices such as smart phones and tablets that rely on wireless networks to communicate. The increasing use of these devices and applications is outstripping the capacity of the underlying network infrastructures. To accommodate the rising demand for ubiquitous high-speed data, researchers will need to design sustainable wireless networks that can function in the presence of the many challenges raised by the nature of wireless communications. This REU experience should help develop a group of computing professionals who can develop future communication systems that will be reliable, efficient, and sustainable. The research projects span a variety of topics under the umbrella of sustainable wireless communications including spectrum-efficient wireless communication by means of reflected power, energy-efficient data dissemination in wireless sensor networks, adaptive backbone-based routing in delay tolerant wireless networks, adaptive network recovery from excessive network failure, and sustainable networks under intentional attacks. The program will target students from under-represented minorities and students from institutions that do not offer Ph.D degrees. The host institution, Purdue University Calumet, is a predominantly undergraduate institution with many students in the target group. Through hands-on projects and experiments, the program will provide students with an authentic environment to investigate effective solutions to real-world problems involving wireless communication technologies. The research activities coupled with other professional development opportunities all help achieve the project goal of inspiring students to pursue advance educational opportunities and professional careers in computer and information science.

这笔资金在普渡大学卡卢梅建立了一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。从全国各地招募的本科生将参加以可持续无线通信为重点的夏季研究项目。 这项研究涉及探索与依赖无线网络进行通信的智能手机和平板电脑等设备几乎普遍使用相关的主题。 这些设备和应用程序的使用越来越多，超出了底层网络基础设施的能力。为了满足对无处不在的高速数据不断增长的需求，研究人员需要设计可持续的无线网络，这些网络可以在无线通信本质所带来的许多挑战中发挥作用。 这REU经验应该有助于开发一组计算专业人员谁可以开发未来的通信系统，将是可靠的，高效的，可持续的。这些研究项目涵盖了可持续无线通信保护伞下的各种主题，包括通过反射功率实现频谱高效的无线通信，无线传感器网络中的节能数据传播，延迟容忍无线网络中基于骨干网的自适应路由，自适应网络从过度网络故障中恢复，以及故意攻击下的可持续网络。 该计划将针对代表性不足的少数民族学生和不提供博士学位的机构的学生。 主办机构，普渡大学卡卢梅，是一个以本科为主的机构，目标群体中有许多学生。通过实践项目和实验，该计划将为学生提供一个真实的环境，以调查涉及无线通信技术的现实问题的有效解决方案。研究活动加上其他专业发展机会都有助于实现激励学生追求先进的教育机会和计算机和信息科学的职业生涯的项目目标。
