Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Broadband Wireless Technologies and Applications

圣母大学宽带无线技术与应用产业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)的新中心站点将通过关注新兴无线技术、经济和监管政策挑战来补充现有的S中心的活动。该网站旨在开发一种凝聚力和综合性的方法，以应对宽带研究领域的挑战，这些领域包括蜂窝数据收集、分析和可视化；异质网络建模、分析和设计；电磁辐射暴露；频谱共享；车辆通信；机器间无线；众包方法和先进电路。中心网站解决了一个关键的经济领域，并有潜力支持将宽带无线发展为创新平台，如白宫PCAST报告所述。巴黎圣母院的中心网站有可能将宽带行业更多样化的成员公司与大学联系起来，这是这一领域更广泛的发现基础。该网站将为学生提供早期接触工业界关注的问题和方法的机会？教育和职业发展。代表不足的本科生和研究生将通过网站现有的机制被招募到该项目中，例如无线网络实验研究(ERWIN)中的REU计划，在过去五年中，超过40%的参与者来自代表不足的群体。

The new center site of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Broadband Wireless Technologies and Applications at the University of Notre Dame will complement the existing center?s activities through a focus on emerging wireless technology, economics, and regulatory policy challenges. The site intends to develop a cohesive and integrative approach to broadband research challenges in areas including cellular data collection, analytics, & visualization; heterogeneous network modeling, analysis, and design; electromagnetic radiation exposure; spectrum sharing; vehicular communications; inter-machine wireless; crowd-sourced approaches and advanced circuitry.The center site addresses an area of critical economic and has the potential to support development of broadband wireless as a platform for innovation as addressed in the White House PCAST Report. The center site at Notre Dame has the potential to link an even greater diversity of member companies across the broadband industry sector with university a broader base of discovery in this area. The site will provide early exposure to the concerns of and approaches employed in industry in students? education and career development. Underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students will be recruited to the program through existing mechanisms at the site such as the REU program in Experimental Research on Wireless Networking (ERWiN), in which more than 40% of the participants were from underrepresented groups over the last five years.
