This project is Phase II of the Broadband Wireless Access Center (BWAC), a multi-university multi-industry organization composed of five universities (the University of Arizona, Virginia Tech, University of Notre Dame, University of Mississippi, and the Catholic University of America) and 20+ affiliates from industry and government. In the past decade, wireless communications has made major technological leaps. Wireless connectivity is pervasive in society, leading to a shortage in wireless spectrum, network congestion, cyber-attacks and personal security issues. The mission of BWAC is to address these challenges and offer creative solutions. In Phase II, BWAC will expand its research footprint to address timely and industry-relevant challenges in wireless networks. The CUA Site brings critical expertise and complementary research capabilities to BWAC for fulfilling the Center's mission. The Site will collaborate with the industry and academic partners to pursue advanced research on cooperative mobile edge computing systems, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), millimeter-wave communications and networking protocols, Internet of Things platforms and mobile applications. Such cooperative research efforts will potentially make significant contributions to the advance in wireless technologies, wireless standards, software and hardware components, and network management. The results of this collaborative industry-university center will have a direct effect on public well-being, enabling applications such as remote health, smart transportation, internet of things, and high speed broadband access in rural areas, to name a few. The partnering universities are committed to broadening participation in BWAC's activities. This is achieved through REU site programs, participation of under-represented minority students and faculty in research projects, and involvement of multidisciplinary projects. With its research, established partnerships, and long history of collaboration between its members, BWAC will likely create intellectual property and spin-off companies, leading to job growth. The lead site, University of Arizona manages the central BWAC project website at www.bwac.arizona.edu. This website contains various information about the center including the overview of the center, mission, industry membership, projects, meeting announcements and technical data. Center proprietary documents are managed through secure internal pages requiring access credentials. The data repository will be managed at the main website with links to the other university sites. The repository will contain technical papers, project descriptions, relevant software, testbed details, etc. The repository will be maintained during the project and for an additional five years beyond its termination.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.

该项目是宽带无线访问中心（BWAC）的第二阶段，这是一个由五所大学（亚利桑那大学，弗吉尼亚大学，巴黎圣母院，密西西比大学和美国天主教大学）和来自工业和政府的20多个分支机构组成的多工业组织。在过去的十年中，无线通信取得了重大的技术飞跃。无线连通性在社会上普遍存在，导致无线频谱，网络拥堵，网络攻击和个人安全问题短缺。 BWAC的使命是应对这些挑战并提供创造性的解决方案。在第二阶段，BWAC将扩大其研究足迹，以应对无线网络中及时且与行业相关的挑战。 CUA网站为BWAC带来了重要的专业知识和互补的研究能力，以实现该中心的任务。该网站将与行业和学术合作伙伴合作，从事合作移动边缘计算系统，大量多输入和多重输出（MIMO），毫米波通信和网络协议，物联网平台和移动应用程序的高级研究。这样的合作研究工作将有可能为无线技术，无线标准，软件和硬件组件以及网络管理的进步做出重大贡献。 这个协作行业大学中心的结果将对公共福祉产生直接影响，从而使远程健康，智能运输，物联网和农村地区的高速宽带访问等应用程序仅举几例。合作大学致力于扩大参与BWAC的活动。这是通过REU网站计划，代表性不足的少数族裔学生的参与以及教师参与研究项目来实现的，并参与了多学科项目。借助其研究，建立的合作伙伴关系以及其成员之间合作的悠久历史，BWAC可能会创建知识产权和衍生公司，从而导致工作增长。 亚利桑那大学领先地点管理中央BWAC项目网站www.bwac.arizona.edu。该网站包含有关该中心的各种信息，包括中心概述，任务，行业会员资格，项目，会议公告和技术数据。中心专有文件是通过需要访问凭证的安全内部页面来管理的。数据存储库将在主要网站上进行管理，并链接到其他大学网站。该存储库将包含技术论文，项目描述，相关软件，测试床细节等。该存储库将在项目期间维护，并在终止之外的五年内维护。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
