Travel Grant for the 2015 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Wireless Model City Workshop

2014年7月，美国国家电信信息管理局(NTIA)和联邦通信委员会(FCC)工程技术办公室(OET)发布了一份联合公告(PN)，就创建城市测试城市征求公众意见，以支持无线设备高级、动态频谱共享的政策、基础技术和系统功能的快速试验和开发。根据从这一评论过程中收到的答复，FCC和NTIA正在寻求意见，以支持为示范试验城市制定框架。示范城市的框架将包括对若干方面的审议，包括技术、协作、资金和治理方面。FCC将于2015年4月15日至16日主办一次研讨会，以促进这一进程。讲习班旨在汇集100名来自不同部门和背景的专家，包括来自地方、州、国家甚至国际各级的政府、工业和学术界的专家。该项目将资助20名来自学术界的与会者和10名来自公共安全部门的与会者的旅费，否则他们将无法出席。差旅支持将用于促进与会者的参与，他们可以为学术界、工业界和联邦机构之间的思想交流做出贡献。预计这次研讨会将制定一项新方法的战略计划，使商业利益集团能够在不危及紧急情况下的功能和安全的情况下共享目前未得到充分利用的带宽。研讨会还将有助于越来越多的人认识到，无线频谱正在成为所谓的“关键基础设施”的组成部分，因此需要关键基础设施保护。

In July 2014, the National Telecommunication Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) issued a Joint Public Notice (PN) to seek public comment on the creation of an urban test city to support rapid experimentation and development of policies, underlying technologies, and system capabilities for advanced, dynamic spectrum sharing by wireless devices. Based on the responses received from this comments process, the FCC and NTIA are seeking inputs to support the development of a framework for the model test city. The framework for the Model City would include consideration of several aspects including, technical, collaborative, funding and governance aspects. The FCC is sponsoring a workshop on April 15-16, 2015, to facilitate this process. The workshop aims to bring together a group of 100 experts in the field from a variety of sectors and backgrounds, including from government, industry and academia, at the local, state, national and even international levels. This project will support the travel of 20 attendees from academia and 10 from the public safety sector who would otherwise be unable to attend. Travel support will be used to promote participation of attendees who can contribute to the sharing of ideas between academia and industry and federal agencies.It is expected that this workshop will develop a strategic plan for new approaches that will allow commercial interests to share currently underutilized bandwidth without jeopardizing functionality and safety in emergency situations. The workshop will also contribute valuable insights to the growing acceptance that wireless spectrum is becoming an integral part of so-called "Critical Infrastructure" and therefore requiring of Critical Infrastructure Protection.
