IRES: US-UK: Enabling Ultra-Dense Future Cellular Networks (5G)

俄克拉荷马州大学的IRES项目将支持美国工程专业学生在英国萨里大学全球公认的第五代蜂窝系统创新中心（5GIC）工作的国际研究经验。在其三年的每一年，由该项目支持的12周计划将提供五（2研究生，3本科生）学生有机会与国际知名的研究小组密切合作，在三个重点研究领域内的下一代超密集无线蜂窝网络，即：干扰缓解，能源效率和移动性管理。该项目还将为参与者提供一个机会，使用一种用于无线蜂窝系统创新的户外大规模5G试验台进行实际研究，该试验台最近在萨里大学建立，作为5GIC的一部分。 在不久的将来，蜂窝系统的超密集部署是不可避免的，以满足不断增加的容量需求。干扰、能量和移动性正在成为实现超密集网络的关键约束。该项目的重点是建立互补的国际合作努力，以应对这些挑战。该项目将使美国学生和PI与全球公认的学术界和国际工业合作伙伴在蜂窝领域建立长期的合作关系。该项目将向学生介绍欧洲对蜂窝领域研究和开发的看法。本项目为本科生计划的广泛的实地研究经验将有助于提高这些学生在工程领域研究生课程中的成功。对于研究生参与者来说，有机会在真实的网络（5G试验台）上验证他们的想法将有助于转变和增强他们对研究的理解，并促进美国工程师的能力，以推动和促进最先进的移动的宽带无线网络的领导地位。

This IRES project at The University of Oklahoma will support international research experiences for US engineering students to work at the globally recognized 5th Generation Cellular Systems Innovation Centre (5GIC) at the University of Surrey, U.K. In each of its three years, the twelve-week program supported by this project will provide five (2 graduate, and 3 undergraduate) students an opportunity to work closely with an internationally renowned research group in three focused research areas within the domain of next generation ultra-dense wireless cellular networks namely: Interference Mitigation, Energy Efficiency and Mobility Management. This project will also provide participants an opportunity for a hands on research experience using a one of a kind, outdoor, large scale 5G test-bed for wireless cellular system innovation that has recently been established at the University of Surrey as part of 5GIC. Ultra-dense deployment of cellular systems is inevitable in near future to meet mounting capacity demands. Interference, energy and mobility are emerging as key constrains in realization of ultra-dense networks. This project focuses on building complementary international cooperative efforts to address these challenges. This project will enable US students and PIs to establish long-term collaborative links with globally recognized academia and international industrial partners in cellular domain. The project will introduce students to the European perspective on research and development in cellular domain. The extensive field research experiences planned in this project for undergraduates will help to increase the success of these students in graduate programs in engineering fields. For the graduate students participants, the opportunity to do validation of their ideas on a real network (5G test-bed) will help to transform and enhance their understanding of their research and promote the ability of US engineers to advance and contribute to leadership on state of the art mobile broadband wireless networks.
