SII Planning: ARIES: Center for Agile, RelIablE, Scalable Spectrum

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。PI汇集了一个跨学科团队，通过与基础和新兴技术，实验和政策相关的三个相互关联的研究主题，探索蜂窝系统和气象卫星之间共存的研究案例研究。主要合作者包括弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学（弗吉尼亚理工大学），罗格斯大学、南加州大学和丹佛的科罗拉多大学。所提出的工作的结果将有助于提高被动和主动系统之间的频谱共存的理解。拟议的参与和伙伴关系研讨会将汇集来自不同部门、学科和领域的频谱利益攸关方，从而朝着打破孤岛之间的障碍迈出一步。建议非传统利益相关者，如观察站，非营利组织和创业公司的参与，这将有助于扩大参与。该奖项将为制定完整的中心提案提供资金支持。该奖项旨在帮助学术界、工业界、国家实验室和其他利益相关者更好地了解频谱研究和教育方面的挑战和差距。PI提出了一个简化的参数模型，该模型将量化5G传输对气象卫星的相邻信道干扰（ACI）。他们还建议对ACI进行深入的综合实验研究，这有可能为5G能量的空间频谱扩展提供新的见解。一个严格的探索和定义的频谱属性的背景下考虑的案例研究提出了沿着一个新的博弈论框架，用于评估技术，经济和社会的政策制定在频谱世界的影响。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的，通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

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 PIs bring together an interdisciplinary team to explore a research case study on the coexistence between cellular systems and weather satellites via three interconnected research themes related to fundamentals and emerging technologies, experimentation, and policy. The prime collaborators include Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech.), Rutgers University, University of Southern California, and University of Colorado, Denver. The outcomes of the proposed work will help improving understanding of spectrum co-existence among passive and active systems. The proposed engagement and partnership workshops will bring together spectrum stakeholders from various sectors, disciplines, and domains, thus taking a step forward towards breaking the barriers between silos. Involvement of non-traditional stakeholders such as observatories, non-profits, and startups are proposed which will help broaden the participation. The planning activities proposed will lead to a better understanding of the challenges and gaps in spectrum research and education encountered by academia, industry, national labs, and other stakeholders.This award will fund activities towards the development of a full center proposal. The PIs propose a reductionist parametric model that will quantify adjacent channel interference (ACI) to weather satellites due to 5G transmissions. They also propose to conduct an in-depth, integrative experimental study of ACI which has the potentials to provide new insights into the spatio-spectral spreading of energy from 5G. A rigorous exploration and definition of spectrum attributes within the context of the considered case study is proposed along with a new game-theoretic framework for assessing the technical, economic, and social impacts of policy making in the spectrum world.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.
