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，以促进和维持美国和南非之间认知无线网络相关的研究和教育合作。主要重点是调查与传统服务欠缺地区的低成本、可靠无线宽带接入技术相关的基本挑战，这些技术使用利用频谱（例如电视）空白空间（WS）的动态频谱接入/共享/管理技术。通过提供一个保护伞，收集从过去的合作经验中学到的知识，通过交叉融合加强正在进行的项目，并通过虚拟和实体会议和活动刺激新项目，该项目将增强吸收来自其他全球参与者的研究知识的能力前沿研究，并将增加变革性研究思想发展的潜力。它还将充当一个聚会场所，所有利益相关者（包括行业组织、联邦机构、政府实验室和学术机构）都可以在这里找到可能的合作伙伴、发布公告并分享与无线研究相关的想法。该研究所的重点是动态频谱接入和相关技术，这是两国的国家优先主题，并将受益于国际科学研究合作活动。该虚拟研究所将为创造性的国际合作提供一个环境，利用两国在研究和教育方面的协同作用和资源，以加快研究创新的发展速度以及能够在高度互联的新世界中脱颖而出的人才和劳动力的发展。该研究所的技术重点是无线频谱效率，在智力上与两国研究人员的利益以及两国的国家优先事项保持一致。该研究所开展了许多活动，包括：（a）向参与者提供服务和内容的门户网站，（b）实体和虚拟 PI 会议，（c）实体和虚拟学生调查员会议，（d）每年的暑期学校和（ e) 研究生交换。
