Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT)

IIP-1134736 University of Virginia Horowitz这是一份关于弗吉尼亚大学继续参与无线互联网先进技术中心（WirelessInternetCenterforAdvancedTechnology，WICAT）的提案。多大学中心由纽约理工学院、弗吉尼亚理工大学、奥本大学和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校组成。WICAT以理工学院为主导机构，拥有大约25家公司和8家联邦和州机构作为行业伙伴。该中心的研究涉及合作通信和联网;延长便携式终端的电池寿命;以及无线应用和相关的信息传递。寻找新的和更好的方法来满足对无线网络的需求将继续是WICAT整体研究的目标。UVA WICAT研究活动致力于自适应无线系统设计模式和相应的技术开发，以实现改进的设计。拟议的研究工作将作出重要贡献，自适应无线监控系统，无线网络系统和远程医疗系统的未来发展。基于系统应用研究中出现的需求进行组件技术研究的并行工程方法为指导和管理所提出的努力提供了重要的基础。根据历史工作，行业和更广泛的无线研究界都发现，系统需求与技术的UVA耦合需要成为指导研究和评估研究成果效益的有用基础。弗吉尼亚大学对中心的系统贡献将继续为中心的总体使命提供显著的差异化价值。多所大学的合作将继续为其他WICAT站点提供来自系统级活动的扩展数据和结果集，以补充其组件技术成果。研究合作将继续提供新的机会，通过创造跨研究机构的学生互动，实现更大的多样性。该中心的教育目标支持了该部门的新课程，反过来，服务于行业成员很好。该网站还通过夏令营支持外联活动。UVA为中心的研究议程带来的多样性也对行业和社区产生了更广泛的影响。

IIP-1134736 University of Virginia Horowitz This is a proposal to renew the University of Virginia's participation in the Wireless Internet Center for Advance Technology (WICAT). The multi-university center consists of New York Polytechnic, Virginia Tech, Auburn University, and the University of Texas-Austin. WICAT, with Polytechnic as the lead institution, has approximately 25 companies and 8 federal and state agencies as industry associates. The Center research addresses cooperative communications and networking; extending battery life of portable terminals; and wireless applications and associated information delivery. Finding new and better ways to meet the demands on wireless networks will continue to be the goal of research being carried out in WICAT overall. The UVA WICAT research activity addresses adaptive wireless system design patterns and corresponding technology developments that serve to enable improved designs. The proposed research effort will make important contributions to the future development of adaptive wireless surveillance systems, wireless networking systems, and telehealth systems. The concurrent engineering approach of carrying out component technology research that is based on needs that emerge from system application research provides an important basis for directing and managing the proposed efforts. Based on historical work, both industry and the broader wireless research community find UVAs coupling of system needs to technology needs to be a useful basis for both directing research and evaluating the benefits of research outcomes. The system-oriented contributions of UVA to WICAT will continue to provide a significant differentiating value to the overall mission of the Center. Multi-university collaborations will continue to provide the other WICAT sites with an expanded set of data and results derived from system-level activities to complement their component technology results. The research collaborations will continue to provide new opportunities to achieve greater diversity by creating student interactions across the research institutions. The educational goals of the center have supported the department's new curriculum which, in turn, serves the industry members well. The site has also supported outreach activities through summer camps. The diversity UVA brings to the center's research agenda has broader impacts on industry and the community, as well.
