SII Planning: Identifying issues, opportunities, and challenges of emerging wireless spectrum innovations

该奖项是频谱创新计划的规划拨款：国家无线频谱研究中心（SII中心）。 频谱研究SII中心的重点超越了5G，物联网和其他现有或即将推出的系统和技术，以制定一条轨迹，通过有效使用和共享无线电频谱，确保美国在科学和工程领域的未来无线技术，系统和应用方面的领导地位。 对无线系统的需求呈指数级增长，未来的影响需要探索。为了应对新的挑战，实现一个安全、可靠和可靠的移动的网络世界，需要定义使用高价值频谱的新问题、机遇和挑战，以及重要和潜在突破性研究议程和新技术的定义。由加州大学圣地亚哥分校领导的这支团队包括来自俄克拉荷马州大学、斯坦福大学、威斯康星州大学、纽约大学、休斯研究实验室、喷气推进实验室、是德科技、高通、麻省理工、林肯实验室、共享频谱公司、Verizon和谷歌的团队成员。该团队将探索的关键领域包括科学用户，空中交通管理，通信，雷达，广域射频传感，包括低地球轨道（LEO）星座，无线电层创新，特别强调机器学习和围绕小蜂窝网络，6G和THz频段系统的实施方面，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is a planning grant for the Spectrum Innovation Initiative: National Center for Wireless Spectrum Research (SII-Center). The focus of a spectrum research SII-Center goes beyond 5G, IoT, and other existing or forthcoming systems and technologies to chart out a trajectory to ensure United States leadership in future wireless technologies, systems, and applications in science and engineering through the efficient use and sharing of the radio spectrum. The need for wireless systems is exponentially growing, and future implications need to be explored. Emerging issues, opportunities and challenges for use of highly valuable spectrum and the definition of important and potential breakthrough research agendas and new technologies need to be defined to meet new challenges and achieve a safe, secure, and reliable mobile networked world. Led by the University of California, San Diego, the assembled team includes team members from the University of Oklahoma, Stanford University, the University of Wisconsin, New York University, Hughes Research Laboratory, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Keysight Technologies, Qualcomm, MIT, Lincoln Laboratory, Shared Spectrum Company, Verizon, and Google. Key areas the team will explore include science users, air traffic management, communications, radars, wide area radio frequency sensing including low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations, radio layer innovations with particular emphases on machine learning and networking around small cells, implementation aspects of 6G and THz band systems, and policy.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.
