PAWR Project Office Renewal

先进无线研究平台（PAWR）计划由PAWR项目办公室（PPO）管理，通过在美国部署四个大型网络测试平台，正在建立无线研究的共享知识基础。这些平台为测试下一代网络技术提供了独特的能力，并确保了一个健康和包容的无线创新生态系统。PAWR项目强调开放和可编程网络系统，使5G、6G及以后的无线研究成为可能。它还形成了学术、商业和政府利益的中心，为旨在维持美国无线领导地位和经济竞争力的研究合作创造了新的机会。PPO将通过加强平台运营来支持频谱共享、开放和软件驱动网络以及优化网络性能的机器学习等领域的研究，从而扩大PAWR计划的成功。PPO将继续现有的努力，推动测试平台的可持续运营，并产生有意义的研究和独立的数据集。它还将引入新的活动，以提高平台的可用性，针对高价值的行业和政府合作伙伴关系，并在整个研究社区扩展外展活动。这些努力将有助于扩大和加速无线创新，增强美国网络的连通性和安全性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, as administered by the PAWR Project Office (PPO), is building a shared intellectual foundation in wireless research through the deployment of four large-scale network testbeds across the U.S. These platforms provide unique capabilities for testing next-generation network technologies, and for ensuring a healthy and inclusive ecosystem for wireless innovation. With an emphasis on open and programmable network systems, the PAWR program enables wireless research through 5G, 6G, and beyond. It also forms a hub for academic, commercial, and government interests, creating new opportunities for research collaboration designed to sustain U.S. wireless leadership and economic competitiveness. The PPO will extend the success of the PAWR program by strengthening platform operations to support research in areas such as spectrum sharing, open and software-driven networks, and machine learning to optimize network performance. The PPO will continue many existing efforts to drive the testbeds toward sustainable operations and the production of meaningful research and independent datasets. It will also introduce new activities to improve platform usability, target high-value industry and government partnerships, and extend outreach activities across the research community. These efforts will help to expand and accelerate wireless innovation, and enhance both the connectivity and security of U.S. networks.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.
