This award will support creating a new I/UCRC Site of Broadband Wireless Access and Applications Center (BWAC) at the Catholic University of America (CUA). The CUA Site will complement existing BWAC Center strengths to develop novel technologies in the wireless domain. The new site, in combination with the existing center, addresses a critical area of American economy, and has potential to increase the societal ability to access broadband wireless services and to support development of broadband wireless as a platform for innovation. The I/UCRC Site will help recruit diverse and promising students into the electrical engineering and computer science programs at CUA. Research related to wireless realm will be seamlessly integrated with education. By involving undergraduate and graduate students directly in the projects of actual interest to industry, the center will better prepare the students in their career development, and enhance the intellectual capacity of the engineering and science workforce. The CUA Site will address the technical challenges of broadband wireless access and applications with an integrative approach, and conduct research in the areas of software defined wireless networks, mobile edge cloud, cognitive radio networks, dynamic spectrum sharing, millimeter wave antennas and networking systems, Internet of Things, and wireless and mobile applications. The cooperative research efforts at the CUA Site will potentially make impactful contributions to advance wireless technologies and applications, software and hardware components, and wireless standards.

该奖项将支持在美国天主教大学（CUA）创建一个新的宽带无线接入和应用中心（BWAC）的I/UCRC站点。CUA网站将补充现有的BWAC中心的优势，以开发无线领域的新技术。新网站与现有的中心相结合，解决了美国经济的一个关键领域，并有可能提高社会接入宽带无线服务的能力，并支持宽带无线作为创新平台的发展。I/UCRC网站将帮助招募多样化和有前途的学生进入CUA的电气工程和计算机科学课程。与无线领域相关的研究将与教育无缝集成。通过让本科生和研究生直接参与行业实际感兴趣的项目，该中心将更好地为学生的职业发展做好准备，并提高工程和科学劳动力的智力能力。CUA站点将以综合的方式解决宽带无线接入和应用的技术挑战，并在软件定义无线网络、移动的边缘云、认知无线电网络、动态频谱共享、毫米波天线和网络系统、物联网以及无线和移动的应用等领域开展研究。CUA研究中心的合作研究工作将可能为推进无线技术和应用、软件和硬件组件以及无线标准做出有影响力的贡献。
