PPO: Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) Project Office

无线通信网络的创新和依赖它们的应用现在已经成为推动国家经济增长和生产力的重要组成部分。维持这些技术的快速增长对于保持国家的领导地位和经济竞争力至关重要。2016年7月，美国国家科学基金会宣布了一项名为高级无线研究平台(PAWR)的多年努力，旨在创建一套城市规模的试验床，以促进未来十年先进无线通信和网络技术的研究。在这一努力中，NSF加入了一个在这项投资产生的无线技术方面拥有商业利益的公司联盟。PAWR将实现对强大的新无线设备、通信技术、网络、系统和服务的试验性探索，这些设备、通信技术、网络、系统和服务将彻底改变美国的无线生态系统，从而增强宽带连接，利用新兴的物联网(IoT)，并在未来几十年保持美国的领导地位和经济竞争力。PAWR还将使有前景的技术迅速商业化，带来就业机会和经济活力。研究人员将有机会进入现实的、城市规模的试验台来测试新的无线理论和概念，同时将涌现出全新的参与实践培训的研究生。为了支持先进无线研究平台的设计、开发、部署和操作，国家科学基金会(NSF)计算机和信息科学与工程委员会(CEISE)为这一奖项提供资金，这将支持PAWR项目办公室(PPO)的工作。PPO将与无线研究社区密切合作，负责设计、开发和部署一套先进的无线研究平台。在成功完成先进无线研究平台的设计后，PPO将在NSF和行业联盟的资助下进入开发和部署阶段。PPO将专业地建立和管理释放美国创新、推动经济发展并帮助扩大美国在无线行业的全球领导地位所需的高级研究平台。PPO将在PAWR的设计、开发、部署和运营的各个方面与无线研究社区密切合作。PAWR督导委员会(PSC)将代表社区在PAWR方面的研究兴趣，该委员会由无线网络技术研究带头人和行业联盟的一个子集组成。PSC将由PPO包租和支持，目的是就先进无线研究平台的部署和操作的所有方面获得建议。

Innovations in wireless communication networks and applications relying on them have now become vital components driving the nation's economic growth and productivity. Sustaining the rapid growth in these technologies is essential to maintaining the nation's leadership and economic competitiveness. In July 2016, the National Science Foundation announced a multi-year effort, called Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR), aimed at creating a set of city-scale testbeds to promote research in advanced wireless communication and networking technologies over the next decade. In this effort, the NSF was joined by a Consortium of companies with commercial interests in the wireless technologies resulting from this investment. PAWR will enable experimental exploration of robust new wireless devices, communication techniques, networks, systems, and services that will revolutionize the nation's wireless ecosystem, thereby enhancing broadband connectivity, leveraging the emerging Internet of Things (IoT), and sustaining US leadership and economic competitiveness for decades to come. PAWR will also enable rapid commercialization of promising technologies, bringing jobs and economic vitality. Researchers will have access to realistic, city-scale testbeds for testing new wireless theories and concepts, while a whole new generation of participating graduate students will emerge with hands-on practical training.In order to support the design, development, deployment, and operations of the advanced wireless research platforms, the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is funding this award, which will support the work of a PAWR Project Office (PPO). Working closely with the wireless research community, the PPO will assume responsibility for design, development, and deployment of a set of advanced wireless research platforms. Upon successful completion of the design of advanced wireless research platforms, the PPO will proceed to the development and deployment phases with funding provided by NSF as well as the Industry Consortium. The PPO will professionally establish and manage the advanced Research Platforms needed to unleash American innovation, drive economic development, and help extend US global leadership in the wireless industry. The PPO will work closely with the wireless research community in all aspects of the design, development, deployment, and operations of PAWR. A PAWR Steering Council (PSC), comprising research leaders in wireless networking technologies and a subset of the Industry Consortium, will represent the community's research interests in PAWR. The PSC will be chartered and supported by the PPO, with the goal of obtaining advice on all aspects of the deployment and operations of the advanced wireless research platforms.
