Current "4G" wireless networks will not be able to support the projected mobile internet traffic, which is projected to grow to 66,000 petabytes (PB) per month in 2022, up from 94 PB/month in 2010 - a growth rate of 72% per year. The key to meeting such demand lies in: (1) the exploitation of new millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum above 30 Gigahertz (GHz), and (2) the development of new hardware and algorithms that enable mmWave communication. However, mmWave communication networks are in their infancy, with emerging 5G networks expected to support first generation concepts. Researchers are already looking beyond 5G, and accordingly, there is intense ongoing research in developing fundamental technologies and algorithms for future mmWave networks. Unfortunately, experimental validation and experiment-driven discovery has been largely lacking due to the unavailability of hardware technologies, compounded by high costs that can be supported only by large companies. The proposed project seeks to build new institutional infrastructure that can enable advanced wireless networking experimentation in the mmWave frequency bands. The resulting testbed will provide experimentation tools and seed research for the hardware, physical and network communication communities, and for systems researchers who focus on localization, autonomous driving, indoor navigation, assistive devices for the visually impaired etc. This project will offer opportunities for undergraduate and graduate education, both during the development of the infrastructure, and during its actual use. In addition, students will develop skills in chip implementation, printed circuit board design and fabrication, laboratory characterization skills, using software-defined radios, field-programmable gate array programming skills, all of which are extremely valuable for a career in the technology industry.This project aims to develop a first-of-its-kind mmWave multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capable network testbed comprising base stations and mobile user modules spanning indoor and outdoor spaces. Testbed development will be led by a two-investigator team combining expertise in mmWave chip/system design with expertise in cross-layer design and implementation of wireless networks. Since commercial mmWave hardware (especially with advanced features) will not be widely available for the foreseeable future, the proposed infrastructure will leverage the principal investigator's previous NSF-funded research that has resulted in the design and prototype demonstration of advanced mmWave radio chips which feature unprecedented levels of integration, energy-efficiency, reconfigurability and programmability. The proposed project is structured to operationalize a small-scale link/network in the early part of the second year, and scaling up in complexity and network density in the second and third years.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.

当前的“ 4G”无线网络将无法支持预计的移动互联网流量，该流量预计将在2022年每月增长到每月66,000 pb），高于2010年的94个PB，每年的增长率为72％。满足此类需求的关键在于：（1）在30 Gigahertz（GHz）以​​上的新毫米波（MMWave）频谱的开发，以及（2）开发启用MMWave通信的新硬件和算法。但是，MMWave通信网络仍处于起步阶段，预计新兴的5G网络将支持第一代概念。研究人员已经超越了5G，因此，在开发未来MMWave网络的基本技术和算法方面，正在进行的持续研究。不幸的是，由于硬件技术的无法获得，实验验证和实验驱动的发现在很大程度上缺乏，而高成本只能由大公司提供支持。拟议的项目旨在建立新的机构基础架构，该基础架构可以在MMWave频段中实现高级无线网络实验。最终的测试床将为硬件，物理和网络通信社区以及专注于本地化，自动驾驶，室内导航，视觉障碍的辅助设备的系统研究人员提供实验工具和种子研究。该项目将在基础结构的开发过程中以及其在其过程中提供实验性教育的机会。 In addition, students will develop skills in chip implementation, printed circuit board design and fabrication, laboratory characterization skills, using software-defined radios, field-programmable gate array programming skills, all of which are extremely valuable for a career in the technology industry.This project aims to develop a first-of-its-kind mmWave multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capable network testbed comprising base stations and mobile user modules spanning indoor and室外空间。 TestBed开发将由两次投资者团队领导，该团队将MMWave芯片/系统设计中的专业知识与跨层设计和无线网络实施方面的专业知识相结合。由于商业MMWave硬件（尤其是具有高级功能）将在可预见的未来无法广泛使用，因此拟议的基础架构将利用主要研究者以前的NSF资助的研究，该研究导致了高级MMWave无线电芯片的设计和原型演示，这些筹码的设计和原型性表现为前所未有的整合水平，能源效果，可效果，可及效率，可调节性，可及时性，可效果。拟议的项目的结构是在第二年初运行一个小规模的链接/网络，并在第二年和第三年内扩大了复杂性和网络密度的扩展。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影响的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
