项目摘要

The Fiber-Wireless Integration and Networking (FiWIN) Center for Heterogeneous Mobile Data Communications is an NSF Industry & University Cooperative Research Program (I/UCRC) center led by Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT). Based on recognized research leadership and accumulated expertise in integrated fiber-wireless access technologies, FiWIN is favorably positioned to explore emerging access network architectures, functional designs of network elements, and optimizing system interfaces and operations for next generation mobile communication systems. FiWIN has successfully completed two years in operation, while this project is to establish a new addition of Auburn University (AU) as a Member Site. The addition of AU broadens both technical expertise and, inevitably, new outcomes that can only be attributed to the "synergy" between GIT and AU. The FiWIN Center will continue to grow in visionary leadership, dedicated and well-rounded students, and the expanded interdisciplinary expertise. AU will contribute supplementary expertise focusing on: i) Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) design and future generation wireless systems, ii) innovative wireless applications such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and iii) the AU Radio-frequency identification (RFID) Laboratory will contribute to Internet of Things (IoT) research with applications to storage, retail, and supply chain management.This project is part of a broad and ambitious collaborative effort between academia and industry to develop novel techniques to harvest the potential of heterogeneous mobile data communications enabled by the fifth generation wireless. It also strives to broaden participation from underrepresented groups. Graduate students will gain first-hand experience with industrial research projects. The outcomes from this project will be introduced into AU courses and an incoming textbook, and in particular, will enhance the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited Bachelor of Wireless Engineering (BWE) curriculum at Auburn University. Various venues will be explored for industrial collaborations. A reference library will be maintained and be accessible to center members. It will contain experimental data and research products, in addition to Center documents such as NSF Annual Reports, Level of Interest and Feedback Evaluation (LIFE) Form Reports, Center Publications, Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) Presentations and Posters, Membership Agreement document, By-Laws document, and Center Action Items. An interactive web-based server will be used for sharing scientific data produced from the project with the IAB and the public. A single Center-wide repository will be maintained for the center, at http://fiwin.org, which will be maintained throughout the project period.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Fiber-Wireless集成与网络（Fiwin）异质移动数据通信中心是由佐治亚州技术学院（GIT）领导的NSF行业与大学合作研究计划（I/UCRC）中心。基于公认的研究领导和积累集成的纤维无访问技术的专业知识，Fiwin有利地探索新兴访问网络架构，网络元素的功能设计以及优化下一代移动交流系统的系统接口和操作。 Fiwin已成功完成了两年的运行，而该项目是为成员网站建立新的Auburn University（AU）。 AU的增加既扩大了技术专长，也不可避免地，只能归因于GIT和AU之间的“协同作用”。 Fiwin中心将继续发展有远见的领导力，敬业和全面的学生以及扩大的跨学科专业知识。 AU将贡献重点关注的补充专业知识：i）射电频率集成电路（RFIC）设计和未来的无线系统，ii）创新的无线应用，例如无人驾驶飞机（UAV）和iii），AU无线电频率识别（RFID）将对互联网的应用程序和供应群的互联网研究（IOT）进行，并将其参与式链接（IOT），并将其置于封锁，零件的范围（IOT）。学术界和行业之间的努力开发了新型技术，以收获第五代无线无线实现的异质移动数据通信的潜力。它还致力于扩大代表性不足的群体的参与。研究生将获得工业研究项目的第一手经验。该项目的成果将被引入AU课程，并尤其是一本入学的教科书，尤其将增强奥本大学的工程技术（ABET）认可的无线工程学学士学位（BWE）课程。将探索各种场所进行工业合作。中心成员将维护参考库并可以访问。它将包含实验数据和研究产品，除了中心文件，例如NSF年度报告，兴趣水平和反馈评估水平（LIFE）表格报告，中心出版物，工业咨询委员会（IAB）演讲和海报，会员协议文件，细则文件和中心行动项目。基于交互式Web的服务器将用于与IAB和公众共享项目产生的科学数据。该中心将在http://fiwin.org上维护一个中心范围的存储库，该存储库将在整个项目期间进行维护。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
