The Second Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum (EARS) Workshop

增强无线电频谱的获取（EARS）是一项多学科活动，其目标是提高无线电频谱的利用效率，并改善无线电频谱的获取，以支持当前和新技术。实现这些目标将改善目前没有宽带接入的美国人的无线宽带可用性。由于无线电频谱是一种宝贵但有限的自然资源，频谱效率的提高将对国家和世界产生重大的经济影响。在NSF EARS研究计划的基础上，本次邀请研讨会将汇集一些参与无线电频谱接入的关键研究人员和其他利益相关者，讨论该领域当前的研究和政策状况，并为研究和技术制定前进方向。所有相关领域都将派代表参加，包括科学、工程、经济和政策。与无线频谱管理和使用有利害关系的关键联邦机构也将受到邀请。讲习班的产出将包括对无线电频谱接入和使用的未来的展望，以及有助于实现这一展望的优先研究领域清单。

Enhancing Access to the Radio Spectrum (EARS) is a multi-disciplinary activity whose goal is to improve the efficiency with which the radio spectrum is utilized and to improve access to the radio spectrum in support of current and new technologies. Achieving these goals will, among other impacts, improve the availability of wireless broadband to Americans presently without broadband access. Because the radio spectrum is a valuable but finite natural resource, improvements in spectrum efficiency will have significant economic impact to the nation and the world. Building upon the NSF EARS research program, this invitational workshop will bring together some of the key researchers and other stakeholders involved in radio spectrum access to discuss the state of current research and policy in this area, and chart a course forward for research and technology. All relevant fields will be represented, including science, engineering, economics, and policy. Key federal agencies with stakes in wireless spectrum management and usage will be invited as well. The output of the workshop will include a vision for the future of radio spectrum access and use, and a prioritized list of research areas that can help achieve that vision.
