This project renews a Research Experience for Undergraduates site focused on wireless research in cognitive networks. The research aims to increase spectrum utilization significantly for both military and commercial applications. Students develop software defined radio frequency transmitters and receivers, develop an integrated test bed, and conduct research using the test bed. The project involves collaboration between the host institution and Jackson State University, with half the students and one mentor coming from Jackson State. Undergraduate students participate in a ten-week summer research program at the host institution. The project includes mentorship by experienced computer science faculty members, weekly presentations and seminars, laboratory visits and other professional development opportunities. The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The projects are in major current research areas that are of interest to the community at large and that have clear practical applications. The research related to dynamic spectrum access techniques may significantly improve the spectrum utilization for future wireless networks. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to undergraduate students, particularly students from underrepresented groups. The project develops strong collaborative ties between the host institution and Jackson State University that will enable the students to continue their research and professional growth after the summer experience. Thus this project has the potential to produce new computer science graduate students and faculty members and to advance discovery and understanding while promoting learning.

该项目恢复了针对认知网络中无线研究的大学生网站的研究经验。该研究旨在显着提高军事和商业应用的频谱利用率。学生开发软件定义的射频发射器和接收器，开发集成的测试床，并使用测试床进行研究。该项目涉及主机机构与杰克逊州立大学之间的合作，一半的学生和一名来自杰克逊州立大学的导师。本科生参加了东道国一项为期十周的夏季研究计划。 该项目包括经验丰富的计算机科学教师，每周演讲和研讨会，实验室访问和其他专业发展机会的指导。该项目的智力优点在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。这些项目位于当前主要的研究领域，这些研究领域对整个社区都感兴趣，并且具有明确的实际应用。与动态频谱访问技术有关的研究可能会显着改善未来无线网络的光谱利用率。该项目的更广泛影响包括为本科生，尤其是来自代表性不足的学生的学生提供优质的研究经验。该项目在东道机构和杰克逊州立大学之间建立了牢固的合作关系，这将使学生在夏季经历后继续其研究和专业成长。 因此，该项目有可能培养新的计算机科学研究生和教职员工，并在促进学习时提高发现和理解。
