Collaborative Research:II-NEW: RUI: ROAR - A Research Infrastructure for Real-time Opportunistic Spectrum Access in Cloud based Cognitive Radio Networks

该项目的重点是为认知无线电网络开发一个实时机会频谱接入测试平台，称为ROAR。从该项目中获得的信息将提供一个平台，以评估频谱传感技术的成熟度，并确定在异构认知网络环境中需要进一步研究的实时机会动态频谱接入领域，并将支持增强我们的国家无线基础设施和容量。随着无线网络触及我们社会的方方面面，ROAR将产生广泛的社会影响。项目学习将被纳入相关的本科和研究生课程，使研究与教育相结合。将集中努力使代表性不足的少数民族（包括妇女）对拟议的研究领域感兴趣。该项目将建立一个基于云的认知网络，用于跨不同RF频段(例如，9 kHz ？包括蜂窝、IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n、IEEE 802.15.4、DSRC/WAVE和蓝牙网络，以研究未来无线系统的实现、评估和发展。该项目还支持许多其他研究项目的实验研究，包括安全动态频谱接入设计、高度移动车辆网络中的认知无线电机会频谱接入、主要用户安全仿真、移动设备的能源管理技术、基于跨层的协议设计、网络物理系统设计的安全性、干扰缓解技术和无线资源管理方案。

This project focuses on the development of a real-time opportunistic spectrum access testbed for cognitive radio networks, called ROAR.The information gained from this project will provide a platform to assess maturity of spectrum-sensing technology and identify areas that need further research for real-time opportunistic dynamic spectrum access in a heterogeneous cognitive network environment, and will support enhancement of our national wireless infrastructure and capacity. ROAR will have a broad societal impact as wireless networks touch every aspect of our society. Project-based learning will be incorporated in related undergraduate and graduate courses to integrate research and education. Focused efforts will be undertaken to interest underrepresented minorities (including females) in the proposed research field.This project will setup a cloud-based cognitive network for real-time opportunistic spectrum access across diverse RF bands (e.g., 9 kHz ? 6 GHz) including cellular, IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.15.4, DSRC/WAVE and Bluetooth networks, in order to study the implementation, evaluation and development of future wireless systems. This project also enables experimental investigations in a number of other research projects, including secure dynamic spectrum access design, cognitive radio enabled opportunistic spectrum access in highly mobile vehicular networks, primary user security emulation, energy management techniques for mobile devices, cross-layer based protocol design, security for cyber-physical system design, interference mitigation techniques and wireless resource management schemes.
