NSF International Travel Grant for 2015 Future Directions in Spectrum Management Research Workshop

高速移动的互联网接入的增长已经彻底改变了我们的生活，预计将继续有增无减。随着机器对机器（M2M）、自动驾驶汽车和无处不在的视频等新应用的出现，无线移动的和游牧接入的流量快速增长将使所有其他无线应用相形见绌。因此，设计未来的无线网络，可以维持这样的流量增长是一个重要的研究挑战。这种设计的一个关键部分是频谱管理策略，利用无线电频谱的最大效率和最大公共利益。本次研讨会将探讨未来十年研究人员在频谱管理方面面临的关键技术和政策挑战。拟议的国际旅行赠款将使美国-研究人员参与这些重要的全球对话。美国--研究人员将能够代表美国。的频谱管理的独特视角，并了解欧洲和其他地方正在采用的不同方法。此外，美国-总部设在美国的研究人员回国后，将对关键研究问题有更清晰的认识，以指导他们自己未来的研究，帮助美国保持在无线通信研究的前沿。该奖项将使旅行赠款达到15个美国-研究人员参加2015年频谱管理研究研讨会的未来方向。研讨会将于2015年9月29日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩与IEEE DySPAN 2015同期举行。旅行赠款将使美国-没有在IEEE DySPAN上展示的研究人员为研讨会带来了多样的观点。还将提供一些小额差旅赠款，使DySPAN演讲者能够在斯德哥尔摩多呆一天参加研讨会。PI将寻求确定并向代表性不足的群体的研究人员提供一些旅行奖励。

The growth of high-speed mobile internet access has already revolutionized our lives and is expected to continue unabated. As new applications such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), self-driving cars, and ubiquitous video appear on the horizon, rapid growth of traffic in wireless mobile and nomadic access will dwarf all other wireless applications. Therefore, design of future wireless networks that can sustain such traffic growth is an important research challenge. A critical piece of such design is spectrum management strategies that leverage maximum efficiency and maximum public benefit from the radio spectrum. This workshop will explore the key technical and policy challenges in spectrum management facing researchers in the coming decade. The proposed international travel grants will enable U.S.-based researchers to participate in these important global conversations. U.S.-based researchers will both be able to represent the U.S.'s unique perspective on spectrum management and be informed by the different approaches being adopted in Europe and elsewhere. Moreover, U.S.-based researchers will return home with a clearer sense of key research problems to guide their own future research, helping to enable the U.S. to remain at the forefront of wireless communications research.This award will enable travel grants to be made to up to 15 U.S.-based researchers to attend the 2015 Future Directions in Spectrum Management Research Workshop. The workshop is being held in Stockholm, Sweden on September 29, 2015, co-located with IEEE DySPAN 2015. Travel grants will be made to enable U.S.-based researchers that are not presenting at IEEE DySPAN to bring a diversity of views to the workshop. A few smaller travel grants will also be made to enable DySPAN presenters to be in Stockholm for an additional day to participate in the workshop. The PI will seek to identify and make some travel awards to researchers from underrepresented groups.
