项目摘要

The goal of this project is to enable interference alignment in practice using the concept of reconfigurable antennas, and by doing so, enable a much deeper understanding of the "interference barrier" that plagues wireless systems today. Interference alignment is a new, novel transmission strategy that results in linear gain in throughput with the number of nodes in the network. The planned research is expected to have a significant impact on the manner in which next generation wireless systems operate and how they access spectrum in multiple domains, including public safety, inter-vehicular communication and Industrial IoT The research agenda will also be tightly integrated with education and outreach activities at University of California-Irvine and University of Texas-Austin with direct involvement of underrepresented minorities, graduate, and undergraduate students as well as a minority focused Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at University of Texas.The effort initially begins with a demonstration that blind interference alignment (with no channel state knowledge at the transmitter) is indeed implementable in hardware, in real-time . Moreover, the gains promised by interference alignment in theory are indeed realized in practice for a 2 by 2 X channel setup. Using this as the foundation, it goes on to propose to design, characterize and develop reconfigurable-antenna based interference alignment solutions in a variety of more general settings, including those where we have partial/delayed/mixed/distributed and/or alternating channel state knowledge. The effort is complementedwith implementations on a variety of platforms. The primary goal is to improve spectral efficiency of wireless networks.

该项目的目标是利用可重构天线的概念在实践中实现干扰对齐，并通过这样做，使人们能够更深入地了解当今困扰无线系统的“干扰屏障”。干扰对齐是一种新颖的传输策略，可实现吞吐量随网络节点数量的线性增益。计划中的研究预计将对下一代无线系统的运行方式以及它们如何在多个领域访问频谱产生重大影响，包括公共安全、车辆间通信和工业物联网。研究议程还将与加州大学欧文分校和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的教育和外展活动紧密结合，直接让代表性不足的少数族裔、研究生和本科生以及少数族裔重点参与德克萨斯大学本科生项目的研究经验。这项工作最初始于证明盲干扰对齐（发射机上没有信道状态知识）确实可以在硬件中实时实现。此外，理论上干扰对齐所承诺的增益实际上在 2 x 2 X 信道设置中得以实现。以此为基础，它继续建议在各种更一般的设置中设计、表征和开发基于可重构天线的干扰对齐解决方案，包括我们拥有部分/延迟/混合/分布式和/或交替信道状态知识的设置。这项工作得到了各种平台上的实施的补充。主要目标是提高无线网络的频谱效率。
