This award aims to create a research coordination network (RCN) in the important and timely area of millimeter-wave (mmW) wireless communications that is the focus of intense current research in academia and industry for achieving multi-Gigabit data rates and low latency as part of the emerging vision for 5G wireless and beyond. The research and development of mmW wireless networks is driven by innovations in three key areas: 1) communication and signal processing techniques, 2) mmW hardware, circuits, and antennas, and digital hardware, and 3) wireless networking. While there is significant ongoing research in all these areas, harnessing the full potential of mmW technology will require a coordinated approach that facilitates cross-fertilization of research across areas as well as across industry, academia, and government agencies. This RCN will bring together academic and industrial researchers as well as stakeholders from federal agencies to exchange information and to guide and accelerate the development and maturation of mmW wireless technology and standards. Special efforts will be made to include new and junior researchers entering this field as well as under-represented groups including women and minorities.The students involved in this project will get an invaluable research and training experience through exposure to cross-disciplinary research in academia and industry.In this RCN, the primary mechanism for interaction between members of the research community will be through two meetings each year. The meeting location will rotate between home institutions of some of the SC members. The tentative schedule is as follows: Fall 2016 (Washington, DC), Spring 2017 (Univ of Arizona), Fall 2017 (Univ of Wisconsin - Madison), Spring 2018 (New York Univ), Fall 2018 (National Institute of Standards and Technology), Spring 2019 (Univ of California - Berkeley). Every meeting will be widely publicized to provide opportunities for participation from a diverse group. The RCN website at http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/ will provide rapid dissemination of results and news, including links to publications, annual reports, meeting announcements, summary of panel discussions, and presentations. The website will also include a data repository for ongoing work in mmW wireless in industry, academia, and federal agencies.

该奖项旨在在重要和及时的毫米波(MmW)无线通信领域创建研究协调网络(RCN)，该领域是学术界和工业界当前密集研究的重点，以实现多千兆数据速率和低延迟，作为5G无线及以后新兴愿景的一部分。毫米波无线网络的研究和开发是由三个关键领域的创新推动的：1)通信和信号处理技术，2)毫米波硬件、电路和天线，以及数字硬件，以及3)无线联网。虽然在所有这些领域都有大量正在进行的研究，但充分利用毫米波技术的潜力将需要一种协调的方法，促进跨领域以及跨行业、学术界和政府机构的研究交叉。该RCN将汇集学术和工业研究人员以及来自联邦机构的利益相关者，交换信息，并指导和加速MMW无线技术和标准的发展和成熟。将特别努力包括进入这一领域的新的和初级的研究人员以及包括妇女和少数群体在内的代表性不足的群体。参与该项目的学生将通过接触学术界和工业界的跨学科研究获得宝贵的研究和培训经验。在这个区域研究中心，研究界成员之间的主要互动机制将是每年两次会议。会议地点将在一些常委会成员的主场机构之间轮换。暂定时间表如下：2016年秋季(华盛顿特区)、2017年春季(亚利桑那大学)、2017年秋季(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校)、2018年春季(纽约大学)、2018年秋季(美国国家标准与技术研究所)、2019年春季(加州大学伯克利分校)。每次会议都将得到广泛宣传，为不同群体提供参与的机会。区域资源中心网站http://mmwrcn.ece.wisc.edu/将提供成果和新闻的快速传播，包括出版物、年度报告、会议公告、小组讨论摘要和演示文稿的链接。该网站还将包括一个数据储存库，用于工业界、学术界和联邦机构正在进行的MMW无线工作。
