This CAREER project is devoted to the fundamental research of highly efficient and reliable wireless networks through advanced multilayer methodologies. We focus on two problems: (i) Before a user enters the network, how to ensure efficient user-based access control? (ii) After a user is authorized to access the network, how to ensure efficient and reliable information transmission, especially, under malign environments? The intellectual merit of this research lies in the development of practical techniques for highly efficient and reliable wireless networks, and in the development of analytical and design tools that are broadly applicable to related engineering problems. For access control, our mutually interactive MAC-PHY framework identifies itself as a crosscutting research thrust in addressing the limitations in existing network and re-defining the reference framework for communications based on the network-centric paradigm. For information transmission, we break new ground in developing highly efficient, inherently reliable airlink interfaces. By exploiting cryptographic techniques and inherent ambiguity in signal detection over multiple access channels, our design of inherently secure and efficient wireless systems guarantees strong information confidentiality and integrity over wireless networks.The broad impacts of this project are multi-fold. First, it lays a solid foundation for the development of an ideal human technology platform for e-commerce, national security, environmental protection, health monitoring, as well as many future applications that can benefit from fast and reliable information exchange. Second, by integrating the technological advances resulting from this project into the undergraduate/graduate curricula, significant impacts are expected from this project on training a highly skilled and diverse workforce in the area of wireless communications and networking. Third, from this project, works supported by NSF provides important input to the standard committees in generating broad engineering and societal impacts.

该职业项目致力于通过先进的多层方法对高效可靠的无线网络进行基础研究。 我们关注两个问题：（i）在用户进入网络之前，如何保证基于用户的高效访问控制？ (ii) 用户被授权接入网络后，尤其是在恶劣环境下，如何保证信息传输高效可靠？这项研究的智力价值在于开发高效、可靠的无线网络实用技术，以及开发广泛适用于相关工程问题的分析和设计工具。对于访问控制，我们的交互式 MAC-PHY 框架将自己定位为解决现有网络限制并重新定义基于网络中心范式的通信参考框架的跨领域研究重点。对于信息传输，我们在开发高效、本质可靠的空中链路接口方面取得了新突破。通过利用加密技术和多接入通道信号检测中固有的模糊性，我们设计的本质安全且高效的无线系统保证了无线网络上强大的信息机密性和完整性。该项目的广泛影响是多方面的。首先，它为电子商务、国家安全、环境保护、健康监测以及许多可以受益于快速可靠的信息交换的未来应用的理想人类技术平台的发展奠定了坚实的基础。其次，通过将该项目产生的技术进步整合到本科生/研究生课程中，该项目预计会对无线通信和网络领域培养高技能和多样化的劳动力产生重大影响。第三，在这个项目中，NSF 支持的工作为标准委员会提供了重要的投入，产生了广泛的工程和社会影响。
