Adaptive Radio Systems for Emerging Intelligent Applications - Information and communication technologies (ICT) - RF & MW Communications

连通性是即将出现的许多技术进步的基础，但基础网络的建立和维护仍然是一个复杂的过程。为了扩展到物联网设想的互联设备密度，通信设备需要在访问频谱的方式上变得更加智能。随着设备种类的增加，这种通信介质中的异构性变得至关重要。大多数系统现在使用单一标准的通信接口，或多个这样的接口。有些系统具有一定的可编程性来调整参数，但这些系统中的智能程度很低。本项目将探讨如何使用自适应硬件架构(如现场可编程门阵列)来建立、维护和发展通信网络，以支持不断变化的连接、环境和计算需求。该项目将涉及理论、实验以及所建议方法的实际实施和演示，目的是开放一个供其他研究人员使用的平台。

Connectivity underpins many of the technological advancements on the horizon, but the establishment and maintenance of the underlying networks remains a complicated process. To scale to the density of connected devices envisaged by the Internet of Things, communicating devices will need to become more intelligent in how they access the spectrum. And as the variety of devices increases, heterogeneity in this communication medium becomes essential. Most systems now use single-standard communication interfaces, or multiple of these. Some have a level of programmability to tweak parameters, but there is minimal intelligence in these systems. This project will explore how adaptive hardware architecture such as FPGAs can be used to establish, maintain, and evolve communication networks to support changing connectivity, environment, and computational needs. The project will involve theory, experimentation, and the practical implementation and demonstration of the proposed methods, with the aim to open source a platform for use by other researchers.
