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 radio spectrum should be utilized to the greatest public benefit at national and global scales. Spectrum shortages, both real and perceived, are leading to conflicts between existing users and anticipated new uses – some of which were not imagined when existing spectrum allocations were made decades ago. Many stakeholders seek to protect and advance their interests, with aspects of these interests overlapping and conflicting with each other. Hence, the public debate over the optimal model for managing spectrum is a complex interplay of technology, economics, law and regulation, policy, and the history of past successes and failures.This project is aimed at the development of a comprehensive plan for an SII-Center which would help maintain and extend US leadership in future wireless technologies, systems, and applications in science and engineering through the efficient use and sharing of radio spectrum. The project team is led by the University of Notre Dame, with partners from Northwestern University, Clemson University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, New York University, and Stanford University. The team has an extensive record of successful research, as well as significant and relevant industry and implementation experience. The project seeks to develop plans for a multi-disciplinary center that emphasizes instrumentation of the radio spectrum; collecting and sharing accurate regulatory, usage, and economic data; and developing data-rich system designs and regulatory policies for more efficient spectrum utilization.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.

该奖项是对频谱创新计划：国家无线频谱研究中心(SII-Center)的规划拨款。频谱研究SII-Center的重点超越了5G、物联网和其他现有或即将到来的系统和技术，以绘制出一条轨迹，通过有效使用和共享无线电频谱，确保美国在未来无线技术、系统和科学和工程应用方面的领先地位。应在国家和全球范围内最大限度地利用无线电频谱以造福公众。频谱短缺，无论是实际的还是感知的，都正在导致现有用户和预期的新用途之间的冲突-其中一些是几十年前进行现有频谱分配时没有想象到的。许多利益攸关方寻求保护和促进他们的利益，这些利益的各个方面相互重叠和冲突。因此，公众对管理频谱的最佳模式的辩论是技术、经济、法律和法规、政策以及过去成败历史的复杂相互作用。该项目旨在为SII中心制定一个全面的计划，通过有效地使用和共享无线电频谱，帮助保持和扩大美国在未来无线技术、系统和科学和工程应用方面的领导地位。该项目团队由圣母大学领导，合作伙伴来自西北大学、克莱姆森大学、加州大学伯克利分校、加州大学洛杉矶分校、纽约大学和斯坦福大学。该团队拥有广泛的成功研究记录，以及重要的相关行业和实施经验。该项目旨在为一个多学科中心制定计划，强调无线电频谱的仪器；收集和共享准确的监管、使用和经济数据；以及开发数据丰富的系统设计和监管政策，以更有效地利用频谱。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
