Planning Visit to Turkey: Wireless Communication Systems for Extreme Situations

0711305阿斯兰这项提议是为了支持国际和平协会、佛罗里达州坦帕市南佛罗里达大学电机系的侯赛因·阿斯兰博士和他的两名学生计划访问土耳其，以建立美国南佛罗里达大学与两所土耳其大学以及一个土耳其政府机构之间的研究和教育合作。土耳其合作者是：伊斯坦布尔大学计算机科学与工程系Halim Zaim博士；伊兹米特科凯利大学电气工程系Adnan Kavak博士；土耳其格布兹国家电子和密码学研究所的木拉提·阿波汉博士和Veysel Baydogan先生。这种合作的一个强烈动机是两国对极端情况下的无线通信的需求和兴趣。土耳其是一个容易发生地震和其他一些自然灾害的国家，在这些极端情况下，通信成为一个关键问题。认知无线电是无线通信中的一个新概念，它可以解决土耳其和美国在最近的事件中遇到的一些关键通信问题和问题。智力上的好处：这次访问将允许评估美国和土耳其各自小组的研究能力和责任，并澄清个人在设备和基础设施方面的优势，这些设备和基础设施是构建无线通信系统国际合作研究提案所需的。国际合作的主要期望是在无线通信系统中开发新的概念和策略，特别是在极端情况下的认知无线电和可靠/安全无线通信方面。计划中的访问还将有助于制定参与实验室的研究生交流访问计划。美国和土耳其的科学家拥有互补的专业知识和资源。更广泛的影响：在恶劣条件下改善无线通信系统的性能将在美国、土耳其和其他灾害多发地区带来重大好处。这一合作将直接惠及两国相关的学术机构，因为来自美国联邦的美国学生将参加这些规划访问，并将从一开始就获得启动国际研究的宝贵经验。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室和电气、通信和网络系统部门联合资助。

0711305 ArslanThis proposal is to support planning visits by the PI, Dr. Huseyin Arslan, Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF), Tampa, Florida and two of his students to Turkey, to establish research and education collaboration between the USF and two Turkish universities as well as a Turkish government agency. The Turkish collaborators are: Dr. Halim Zaim, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Istanbul University; Dr. Adnan Kavak, Electrical Engineering Department, Kocaeli University, Izmit and Dr. Murat Apohan and Mr. Veysel Baydogan from TUBITAK- National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE) in Gebze, Turkey. A strong motivation for this collaboration is the demand and interest from both countries in wireless communications in extreme scenarios. Turkey is a country that is prone to earthquakes and some other natural disasters, and during these extreme situations, communications becomes a critical issue. Cognitive radio, which is a new concept in wireless communications, can address some of the critical communication issues and problems that have been experienced in Turkey and in the U.S. during recent events.Intellectual Merit: The visit will allow assessment of research capabilities and responsibilities of the respective US and Turkish groups and clarify individual strengths in equipment and infrastructure required to structure an international cooperative research proposal on wireless communication systems. The primary expectation of the international collaboration is to develop new concepts and strategies in wireless communication systems, especially on cognitive radio and reliable/secure wireless communications in extreme situations. The planning visit will also help develop a program of exchange visits by graduate students of the participating laboratories. The U.S. and Turkish scientists have complementary expertise and resources. Broader Impact: Improving the performance of wireless communication systems under severe conditions would have major benefits in the U.S., Turkey and in other regions that are disaster prone. The collaboration will directly benefit the involved academic institutions in the two countries, as U.S. students from USF will participate in these planning visits and will gain a valuable experience in initiating international research from the beginning.This project is jointly funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Electrical, Communications & Cyber Systems.
