The growth of high-speed mobile internet access has already revolutionized our lives and is expected to continue unabated. As new applications such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), self-driving cars, and ubiquitous video appear on the horizon, rapid growth of traffic in wireless mobile and nomadic access will dwarf all other wireless applications. Therefore, design of future wireless networks that can sustain such traffic growth is an important research challenge. A critical piece of such design is spectrum management strategies that leverage maximum efficiency and maximum public benefit from the radio spectrum. This workshop will explore the key technical and policy challenges in spectrum management facing researchers in the coming decade. The proposed international travel grants will enable U.S.-based researchers to participate in these important global conversations. U.S.-based researchers will both be able to represent the U.S.'s unique perspective on spectrum management and be informed by the different approaches being adopted in Europe and elsewhere. Moreover, U.S.-based researchers will return home with a clearer sense of key research problems to guide their own future research, helping to enable the U.S. to remain at the forefront of wireless communications research.This award will enable travel grants to be made to up to 15 U.S.-based researchers to attend the 2015 Future Directions in Spectrum Management Research Workshop. The workshop is being held in Stockholm, Sweden on September 29, 2015, co-located with IEEE DySPAN 2015. Travel grants will be made to enable U.S.-based researchers that are not presenting at IEEE DySPAN to bring a diversity of views to the workshop. A few smaller travel grants will also be made to enable DySPAN presenters to be in Stockholm for an additional day to participate in the workshop. The PI will seek to identify and make some travel awards to researchers from underrepresented groups.

高速移动互联网接入的增长已经给我们的生活带来了革命性的变化，预计还将有增无减。随着机器对机器(M2M)、自动驾驶汽车和无处不在视频等新应用的出现，无线移动和游牧接入流量的快速增长将使所有其他无线应用相形见绌。因此，设计能够维持这种流量增长的未来无线网络是一个重要的研究挑战。这种设计的一个关键部分是频谱管理战略，该战略利用无线电频谱的最大效率和最大公共利益。本次研讨会将探讨未来十年研究人员在频谱管理方面面临的关键技术和政策挑战。拟议的国际旅行赠款将使美国的研究人员能够参与这些重要的全球对话。美国的研究人员将既能代表美国S在频谱管理方面的独特视角，又能了解欧洲和其他地区正在采用的不同方法。此外，美国的研究人员回国后将对关键研究问题有更清晰的认识，以指导他们未来的研究，帮助美国保持在无线通信研究的前沿。这一奖项将使最多15名美国研究人员能够获得旅费，参加2015年频谱管理未来方向研究研讨会。研讨会将于2015年9月29日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行，与IEEE DySPAN 2015年共同举办。旅行补助金将使没有出席IEEE DySPAN的美国研究人员能够为研讨会带来不同的观点。还将提供一些较小的旅费赠款，使DySPAN的演讲者能够在斯德哥尔摩多呆一天，参加讲习班。PI将寻求确定并向代表不足的群体的研究人员颁发一些旅行奖项。
