This proposal seeks funding for the Center for Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT) studies conducted by the Polytechnic Institute of New York site (lead), the University of Virginia site and the site at Auburn University. Funding Requests for Fundamental Research are authorized by an NSF approved solicitation, NSF 10-507. The solicitation invites I/UCRCs to submit proposals for support of industry-defined fundamental research. This proposal is a comprehensive research project for significantly improving the capacity of wireless networks. In past decades, there has been an exponential growth of wireless devices and wireless networks. While wireless networks have brought us the convenience of mobility and new applications, they are limited by bandwidth bottlenecks. The industry and spectrum regulators are trying to allocate more bandwidth, but they still fall behind the bandwidth increases in wireless networks. Thus it is critically important to use spectrum resources more efficiently. The proposed work aims to decrease interference, including cooperative and cognitive networking. This research will not only make significant contributions to the research community, but also be very valuable for the wireless industry and spectrum regulators.This proposal aims to eliminate wireless system bottlenecks using cooperative and cognitive technologies, with the potential of enabling a broad spectrum of new wireless applications. The PIs will exploit existing programs, such as NSF REUs and the collaboration with Tuskegee and Northern New Mexico College, which focus on including students from underrepresented groups in the research. The student body at NYU-Poly is quite diverse. Most of the requested funding is going toward student support. The Pisa lo intend to incorporate this work into the new graduate course at NYU-Poly and the new ABET-accredited program at Auburn. Dissemination is clearly outlined: reports to NSF, reports to their IAB, journal and conference papers and making the resulting software packages open source.

该提案寻求由纽约理工学院现场（LEAD），弗吉尼亚大学站点和奥本大学（Auburn University）进行的无线高级技术中心（WICAT）研究资金。 NSF批准的招标（NSF 10-507）授权进行基础研究的资金请求。 该招标邀请I/UCRC提交建议，以支持行业定义的基础研究。 该建议是一个综合研究项目，可显着提高无线网络的能力。在过去的几十年中，无线设备和无线网络的指数增长。尽管无线网络为我们带来了移动性和新应用的便利性，但它们受带宽瓶颈的限制。该行业和频谱监管机构试图分配更多的带宽，但它们仍然落后于无线网络的带宽增加。因此，更有效地使用频谱资源非常重要。拟议的工作旨在减少干扰，包括合作和认知网络。这项研究不仅将为研究社区做出重大贡献，而且对于无线行业和频谱调节器也非常有价值。该提案旨在使用合作和认知技术消除无线系统瓶颈，并有可能使广泛的新范围成为新的新范围。无线应用。 PI将利用现有计划，例如NSF REUS，以及与Tuskegee和New Mexico College的合作，该学院的重点是包括来自代表性不足小组的学生。 NYU-Poly的学生团体非常多样化。大多数要求的资金都用于学生支持。 PISA LO打算将这项工作纳入NYU-Poly的新研究生课程，并在Auburn的新Abet认可计划中纳入。清楚地概述了传播：向NSF报告，向其IAB，日记和会议论文报告，并制作由此产生的软件包开源。
