This project will establish a new virtual institute for promoting and sustaining cognitive wireless networking related research and education collaborations between the U.S. and South Africa. A major emphasis is on the investigation of the fundamental challenges related to low cost, reliable wireless broadband access technologies for traditionally underserved areas using dynamic spectrum access/sharing/management techniques that exploit spectrum (e.g., T.V.) white spaces (WS). By providing an umbrella that gathers the knowledge learned from past collaboration experiences, enhances ongoing projects through cross-fertilization, and spurs new projects through virtual and physical meetings and activities, this project will enhance the capability in absorbing research knowledge from other global players on the forefront of research, and will increase the potential for the development of transformative research ideas. It will also act as a meeting place where individuals from all the stakeholders can locate possible partners, make announcements, and share ideas related to wireless research, including industry organizations, federal agencies, government laboratories and academic institutions. The focus of the institute is on dynamic spectrum access and related technologies, which is a topic of national priority to both countries, and will benefit from collaborative international science research activities.The virtual institute will provide an environment for creative international collaboration that will leverage the synergies and resources for research and education in the two countries in order to accelerate the rate of development of research innovations and the development of talent and work-force capable of excelling in the a new highly interconnected world. The technical focus of the institute, wireless spectrum efficiency, intellectually aligns along the interests of researchers in the two countries, as well as the countries national priorities. The institute employs a number of activities including: (a) a web portal that provides services and content to participants, (b) physical and virtual PI meetings, (c) physical and virtual student investigator meetings, (d) yearly summer schools and (e) graduate student exchange.

该项目将建立一个新的虚拟研究所，用于促进和维持美国和南非之间相关的研究和教育合作。一个重点是研究与传统频谱访问/共享/管理技术相关的低成本，可靠的无线宽带访问技术相关的基本挑战，以利用光谱（例如，T.V.）白色空间（WS）。通过提供从过去的协作经验中获得知识，通过交叉施用来增强正在进行的项目，并通过虚拟和身体会议和活动刺激新项目的雨伞，该项目将增强在研究的最前沿吸收其他全球研究参与者的能力，并将提高研究的发展潜力。它还将充当聚会场所，所有利益相关者的个人都可以找到可能的合作伙伴，发布公告并分享与无线研究有关的想法，包括行业组织，联邦机构，政府实验室和学术机构。该研究所的重点是动态频谱访问和相关技术，这是两个国家的国家优先事项，并将受益于国际科学研究活动。虚拟研究所将为创造性的国际合作提供一个环境，将在两国的研究和资源中利用两国的研究和资源，以加快研究创新和发展的能力发展的知名度和研究能力的发展。该研究所的技术重点是无线频谱效率，在智力上符合两国研究人员以及国家优先事项的研究人员的利益。该研究所采用了许多活动，包括：（a）向参与者提供服务和内容的Web门户，（b）身体和虚拟PI会议，（c）体育和虚拟学生调查员会议，（d）年度暑期学校以及（e）研究生交流。
