The Wireless Spectrum R&D (WSRD) Senior Steering Group (SSG) of the National Information Technology R&D (NITRD) program was stood up as a result of the president's June 2010 memorandum on "Unleashing the Wireless Broadband Revolution." WSRD's purpose is to implement section 3 of the presidential memorandum, which directs the Secretary of Commerce, "in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, NASA, and other agencies as appropriate, [to] create and implement a plan to facilitate research, development, experimentation, and testing by researchers to explore innovative spectrum-sharing technologies, including those that are secure and resilient." WSRD facilitates coordination and information exchange regarding federal government research in the spectrum domain. Although WSRD is a committee of the federal government, it closely coordinates its activities with private industry, public safety, academic researchers, and state and local governments, as these sectors are major drivers of spectrum requirements, research, and development. It does so through a series of workshops that includes the participation of representatives of all of these groups. Three workshops have been held so far: The first in Boulder, CO, in July 2011, which concentrated on coordinating the current and future federal spectrum R&D portfolio within the broader context; the second in Berkeley, CA, in January 2012, which undertook a discussion of the need for a national-level wireless testbed capability; and the third in Boulder, CO, in July 2012, which concentrated on identifying specific research topics central to breaking the dynamic spectrum access stalemate between incumbents and innovative new spectrum users. A challenge with the first two workshops was getting adequate and diverse representation from some sectors, because of the lack of travel funds. In the third workshop, and the workshop proposed here, limited travel funds are available to invited participants who might otherwise have difficulty attending. Priority will be given to improving the gender and racial diversity of the workshop participants. The travel grant program will be led by Dr. Bill Lehr of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is the lead member of the workshop organizing committee.

国家信息技术研发 (NITRD) 计划的无线频谱研发 (WSRD) 高级指导小组 (SSG) 是根据 2010 年 6 月总统关于“释放无线宽带革命”的备忘录而成立的。 WSRD 的目的是执行总统备忘录第 3 节，其中指示商务部长“与国家标准与技术研究所、国家科学基金会 (NSF)、国防部、司法部、NASA、和其他适当的机构，制定并实施一项计划，以促进研究人员的研究、开发、实验和测试，以探索创新的频谱共享技术，包括那些安全和有弹性的技术。” WSRD 促进有关联邦政府频谱领域研究的协调和信息交流。尽管 WSRD 是联邦政府的一个委员会，但它与私营企业、公共安全、学术研究人员以及州和地方政府密切协调其活动，因为这些部门是频谱需求、研究和开发的主要驱动力。它通过一系列研讨会来实现这一目标，其中包括所有这些团体的代表的参与。迄今为止已举办了三场研讨会：第一次于 2011 年 7 月在科罗拉多州博尔德举行，重点是在更广泛的背景下协调当前和未来的联邦频谱研发组合；第二次会议于 2012 年 1 月在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行，会议讨论了国家级无线测试台能力的必要性；第三次会议于 2012 年 7 月在科罗拉多州博尔德举行，重点是确定对于打破现有企业和创新型新频谱用户之间的动态频谱接入僵局至关重要的具体研究主题。由于缺乏差旅资金，前两次研讨会的一个挑战是从某些部门获得足够和多样化的代表。在第三次研讨会以及此处提议的研讨会中，受邀参加者可以获得有限的旅行资金，否则他们可能难以参加。将优先考虑改善研讨会参与者的性别和种族多样性。旅费补助计划将由麻省理工学院的 Bill Lehr 博士领导，他是研讨会组委会的主要成员。
