A new wave of industrial revolution is being witnessed, where vehicles evolve from being controlled by human beings to fully autonomous cyber-physical systems. Having connected vehicles that can communicate with each other, as well as with highway infrastructure and management, is vital to the success of such revolution. Therefore, the goal of this proposal is to design vehicular communications and networks that can provide high data-rate, low-latency, and security. Towards fulfilling this goal, the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band will be utilized as the fundamental enabler to achieve the required high data rates for vehicular communications. The proposed project will benefit the global society by helping to realize safe and secure self-driving cars. The main challenges facing the design and validation of the proposed vehicular communication system are spreading across the implementation of mmWave Radio Frequency (RF) front-ends, baseband processing, and the network management. The design of mmWave RF front-ends requires high-gain and low-profile antenna array for inconspicuous integration on the vehicular platforms, RF beamforming techniques, and finally low-cost, hardware-reduced, and power efficient electronics behind the antenna array. At the baseband processing level, the main obstacles include physical layer secrecy, RF impairment mitigation, and enabling simultaneous multi-vehicle to infrastructure communication. Finally at the network level, novel network architectures are needed to enable low-latency and fast local decision making. The proposed research is transformative as it will advance fundamental knowledge in: 1) High-data-rate RF transmission over mmWave through the design and validation of mmWave multiple-antenna transceiver architectures along with RF beamforming schemes that exploit both spatial and spectral diversity; 2) Enhanced physical layer processing through the design and validation of digital beamforming schemes that achieve physical layer secrecy, mitigate RF impairments, and achieve high-data-rate simultaneous multi-vehicle communication; and 3) Edge computing via a low-latency dynamic network management architecture by utilizing the emerging SDN paradigm, which involves intelligent nodes with local decision and machine learning capabilities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

新一轮的工业革命正在发生，车辆从由人类控制发展到完全自主的网络物理系统。拥有能够相互通信以及与高速公路基础设施和管理通信的联网车辆对于这场革命的成功至关重要。因此，本提案的目标是设计能够提供高数据速率、低延迟和安全性的车载通信和网络。为了实现这一目标，毫米波（mmWave）频带将被用作实现车辆通信所需的高数据速率的基本使能器。拟议的项目将通过帮助实现安全可靠的自动驾驶汽车来造福全球社会。所提出的车载通信系统的设计和验证所面临的主要挑战是毫米波射频（RF）前端、基带处理和网络管理的实现。毫米波RF前端的设计需要高增益和低剖面天线阵列，以便在车辆平台上不显眼地集成，RF波束成形技术，以及天线阵列后面的低成本、硬件减少和功率高效的电子设备。在基带处理层面，主要障碍包括物理层保密、RF损伤缓解以及实现多车辆与基础设施的同步通信。最后，在网络层面，需要新的网络架构来实现低延迟和快速的本地决策。拟议的研究是变革性的，因为它将推进以下方面的基础知识：1）通过设计和验证毫米波多天线收发器架构沿着利用空间和频谱分集的RF波束成形方案，在毫米波上实现高数据速率RF传输; 2）通过数字波束成形方案的设计和验证来增强物理层处理，该数字波束成形方案实现物理层保密，减轻RF损伤，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
