PAWR Project Office Renewal

高级无线研究平台(PAWR)计划由PAWR项目办公室(PPO)管理，通过在美国各地部署四个大型网络试验台，正在无线研究领域建立一个共享的智力基础。这些平台为测试下一代网络技术提供独特的能力，并确保为无线创新建立一个健康和包容的生态系统。PAWR计划强调开放和可编程的网络系统，使5G、6G等无线研究成为可能。它还形成了学术、商业和政府利益的枢纽，为旨在保持美国无线领导地位和经济竞争力的研究合作创造了新的机会。PPO将通过加强平台运营来扩大PAWR计划的成功，以支持频谱共享、开放和软件驱动的网络以及机器学习等领域的研究，以优化网络性能。PPO将继续许多现有的努力，推动试验床实现可持续运营，并产生有意义的研究和独立的数据集。它还将推出新的活动，以提高平台的可用性，瞄准高价值的行业和政府伙伴关系，并将外联活动扩展到整个研究界。这些努力将有助于扩大和加快无线创新，并增强美国网络的连通性和安全性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, as administered by the PAWR Project Office (PPO), is building a shared intellectual foundation in wireless research through the deployment of four large-scale network testbeds across the U.S. These platforms provide unique capabilities for testing next-generation network technologies, and for ensuring a healthy and inclusive ecosystem for wireless innovation. With an emphasis on open and programmable network systems, the PAWR program enables wireless research through 5G, 6G, and beyond. It also forms a hub for academic, commercial, and government interests, creating new opportunities for research collaboration designed to sustain U.S. wireless leadership and economic competitiveness. The PPO will extend the success of the PAWR program by strengthening platform operations to support research in areas such as spectrum sharing, open and software-driven networks, and machine learning to optimize network performance. The PPO will continue many existing efforts to drive the testbeds toward sustainable operations and the production of meaningful research and independent datasets. It will also introduce new activities to improve platform usability, target high-value industry and government partnerships, and extend outreach activities across the research community. These efforts will help to expand and accelerate wireless innovation, and enhance both the connectivity and security of U.S. networks.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
