The ongoing COVID-19 has, once more, highlighted the importance of public safety communications (PSC) in protecting public safety personnel and ensuring life-saving services. As 5G networks transition to higher frequencies, including the mmWave spectrum, integration of PSC solutions into this new spectrum becomes a challenge. Increased data rates, reduced delays, and improved density would lead to the realization of life-critical PSC use cases such as high-quality real-time video streaming and ultra-low-delay communication. These use cases increase the potential demand for PSC in the mmWave spectrum. Conventional spectrum management solutions, such as allocating dedicated PSC bands, are not sustainable. This project develops dynamic mmWave spectrum sharing solutions for public safety communications (DYNAmmWIC) to allow for novel PSC use cases in the mmWave spectrum and design the mmWave spectrum. This vision requires the coexistence of innovations in the radio, network operation management, and network architecture levels. The developed solutions in this project have the potential to fundamentally transform mmWave spectrum usage and accelerate the readiness of the wireless industry for 6G solutions while saving significant costs. The project explores four main goals to provide a complete radar-5G-public safety communications (PSC) coexistence solution from radio hardware to the network architecture: (1) A joint-radar communication (JARC) system is developed by using the same waveform for both radar sensing and data transmission in commercial and public safety vehicles. (2) A mmWave spectrum sharing solution is developed to dynamically manage the coexistence of operations for PSC, radar sensing, 5G, and V2V communications, pedestrian access, and backhaul in the mmWave spectrum. (3) A novel mmWave next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN) architecture is developed, allowing higher RAN co-operation and integration through proven orchestration tools for rapid development iterations of solutions on a real testbed. (4) A comprehensive evaluation plan complements the developed techniques. The JARC system, implemented at OSU, will augment iLNK, a city-wide, remotely accessible wireless testbed. iLNK is developed at UNL in collaboration with the City of Lincoln, which has proven to be a valuable remote teaching tool during the COVID-19-related restrictions. PIs will work to roll-out educational modules that can be conducted on the remotely accessible iLNK testbed, lowering the barrier to wireless education. This project will be conducted by a highly diverse team of PIs with a long track record of productive collaboration and impacts on diversity. Proposed solutions are rigorously tested to demonstrate a next-generation PSC model to local and national stakeholders.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.

正在进行的Covid-19再次强调了公共安全通信（PSC）在保护公共安全人员和确保挽救生命的服务方面的重要性。随着5G网络过渡到较高的频率，包括MMWave光谱，将PSC解决方案集成到该新频谱中成为一个挑战。数据速率提高，延迟减少和密度提高将导致实现生活至关重要的PSC用例，例如高质量的实时视频流和超低延迟通信。这些用例增加了MMWave频谱中PSC的潜在需求。传统的频谱管理解决方案，例如分配专用的PSC频段，是不可持续的。该项目开发了用于公共安全通信（DynAmmWIC）的动态MMWAVE频谱共享解决方案，以允许MMWave频谱中的新型PSC用例并设计MMWave Spectrum。该愿景需要广播，网络操作管理和网络体系结构级别中创新的共存。该项目中开发的解决方案有可能从根本上改变MMWave频谱使用情况，并加速无线行业对6G解决方案的准备，同时节省了巨大的成本。该项目探讨了四个主要目标，以提供从无线电硬件到网络体系结构的完整雷达-5G公共安全通信（PSC）共存解决方案：（1）通过对商业和公共安全车辆中的雷达传感和数据传输使用相同的波形来开发联合雷达通信（JARC）系统。 （2）开发了MMWave频谱共享解决方案，以动态管理PSC，雷达传感，5G和V2V通信，行人访问和MMWAVE频谱中的回程的操作共存。 （3）开发了一种新颖的MMWave下一代无线电访问网络（NG-RAN）体系结构，从而通过经过验证的编排工具来进行更高的合作和集成，以在真实测试台上快速开发解决方案的迭代。 （4）全面的评估计划补充了开发的技术。在OSU实施的JARC系统将增强伊尔恩克（Ilnk），这是一个全市范围内的无线测试台。 ILNK是在与林肯市合作开发的，林肯市已被证明是在19与COVID相关的限制期间是一种有价值的远程教学工具。 PI将努力推出可以在可远程访问的ILNK测试床上进行的教育模块，从而降低了无线教育的障碍。该项目将由一个高度多样化的PI团队进行，并具有长期的生产协作记录和对多样性的影响。对拟议的解决方案进行了严格的测试，以证明对本地和国家利益相关者的下一代PSC模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
