这项研究的主要目标是解决无线网络设计、分析和实现中的基本问题。所处理的问题将跨越信号处理、通信和网络之间的传统界限。该工作将首先开发一个网络、架构和协议套件，以支持无线子网的互联。将考虑利用无线电信道的广播能力和功率控制的分层网络基础结构。将确定多模式网关和分层数据库的最佳位置，以帮助在此基础设施内进行移动性管理和路由。有效分配频谱的优化技术将使用动态规划技术进行研究。将开发获取和分析渠道政策的正式方法，并将其应用于分析和设计问题。联合源/信道编码技术，以尽量减少端到端失真将被检查。将考虑新兴的无线应用，并寻求支持这些应用的全球网络基础设施。教育部分将在无线通信、网络和动态规划的本科和研究生阶段开发创新和动态的课程计划。这些活动将鼓励工业合作。

NCR-9501452 Goldsmith, Andrea The broad goal of this research is to address fundamental issues in the design, analysis, and implementation of wireless networks. Issues treated will cross traditional boundaries between signal processing, communications, and networking. The work will first develop a networking, architecture and protocol suite to support the internetworking of wireless subnetworks. A hierarchical network infrastructure will be considered that exploits the broadcast capability and power control of radio channels. Optimum location of multimode gateways and hierarchical databases to aid in mobility management and routing within this infrastructure will be determined. Optimization techniques for efficient allocation of spectrum will be studied using techniques from dynamic programming. Formal methods for obtaining and analyzing channel policies will be developed and applied to analysis and design issues. Joint source/channel coding techniques to minimize end to end distortion will be examined. Emerging wireless applications will be considered and a global networking infrastructure to support these applications will be sought. The education component will develop innovative and dynamic course programs at the undergraduate and graduate level in wireless communications, networks, and dynamic programming. These activities will encourage industrial collaborations.
