The growth of high-speed mobile internet access has already revolutionized our lives and is expected to continue unabated. As new applications such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), self-driving cars, and ubiquitous video appear on the horizon, rapid growth of traffic in wireless mobile and nomadic access will dwarf all other wireless applications. Therefore, design of future wireless networks that can sustain such traffic growth is an important research challenge. A critical piece of such design is spectrum management strategies that leverage maximum efficiency and maximum public benefit from the radio spectrum. This workshop will explore the key technical and policy challenges in spectrum management facing researchers in the coming decade. The proposed international travel grants will enable U.S.-based researchers to participate in these important global conversations. U.S.-based researchers will both be able to represent the U.S.'s unique perspective on spectrum management and be informed by the different approaches being adopted in Europe and elsewhere. Moreover, U.S.-based researchers will return home with a clearer sense of key research problems to guide their own future research, helping to enable the U.S. to remain at the forefront of wireless communications research.This award will enable travel grants to be made to up to 15 U.S.-based researchers to attend the 2015 Future Directions in Spectrum Management Research Workshop. The workshop is being held in Stockholm, Sweden on September 29, 2015, co-located with IEEE DySPAN 2015. Travel grants will be made to enable U.S.-based researchers that are not presenting at IEEE DySPAN to bring a diversity of views to the workshop. A few smaller travel grants will also be made to enable DySPAN presenters to be in Stockholm for an additional day to participate in the workshop. The PI will seek to identify and make some travel awards to researchers from underrepresented groups.

高速移动互联网接入的增长已经彻底改变了我们的生活，并且预计将继续有增无减。随着机器对机器 (M2M)、自动驾驶汽车和无处不在的视频等新应用的出现，无线移动和游牧访问流量的快速增长将使所有其他无线应用相形见绌。因此，设计能够维持这种流量增长的未来无线网络是一个重要的研究挑战。这种设计的一个关键部分是利用无线电频谱的最大效率和最大公共利益的频谱管理策略。本次研讨会将探讨研究人员在未来十年面临的频谱管理方面的关键技术和政策挑战。拟议的国际旅行补助金将使美国研究人员能够参与这些重要的全球对话。美国的研究人员将能够代表美国对频谱管理的独特观点，并了解欧洲和其他地方采用的不同方法。此外，美国的研究人员回国后将更清楚地了解关键研究问题，以指导自己未来的研究，帮助美国保持在无线通信研究的前沿。该奖项将使旅行补助金高达邀请 15 名美国研究人员参加 2015 年频谱管理未来方向研究研讨会。该研讨会将于 2015 年 9 月 29 日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行，与 IEEE DySPAN 2015 同期举办。我们将提供旅费补助，以便未在 IEEE DySPAN 上发言的美国研究人员能够在研讨会上发表多样化的观点。还将提供一些小额旅费补助，以便 DySPAN 演讲者能够在斯德哥尔摩多呆一天参加研讨会。 PI 将寻求为代表性不足群体的研究人员确定并向其颁发一些旅行奖励。
