This award is a planning grant for the Spectrum Innovation Initiative: National Center for Wireless Spectrum Research (SII-Center). The focus of a spectrum research SII-Center goes beyond 5G, IoT, and other existing or forthcoming systems and technologies to chart out a trajectory to ensure United States leadership in future wireless technologies, systems, and applications in science and engineering through the efficient use and sharing of the radio spectrum. Radio spectrum is a critical enabler of technological innovations in commercial wireless communications, national security, scientific research, and many other important areas. In recognition of radio spectrum's importance, the White House announced multiple Presidential Memorandums concerning spectrum over the past few years. In the most recent Memorandum, titled "Developing a sustainable spectrum strategy for America’s future," the President directed the Department of Commerce to develop a long-term National Spectrum Strategy to prepare for deployment of next-generation wireless technologies and to enable more efficient utilization of spectrum. This project includes planning activities for a national SII-center that will serve as a premier nexus for spectrum-related research, education & workforce development, and industry & government engagement. Ultimately, the overarching aim of the center is closely aligned with that of the National Spectrum Strategy: maintaining the United States' position as a leader in spectrum technologies, while sparking innovation and economic growth. This award is for planning activities for an envisioned center with three primary research priorities aligned with national priorities: (1) increase spectrum efficiency and agility; (2) enable near real-time spectrum awareness and automated spectrum decision making; and (3) enforcement and security, passive use protection, and safety of radio frequency emissions. The team will carry out and promote research associated with spectrum flexibility and agility that will enable the use of multiple spectral bands, and novel multi-functional waveforms. They will carry out and promote research that provides the ability to manage and access spectrum at a high-level of fidelity and fine granularity while maximizing automation. And they will carry out and promote research that advances the state-of-the-art in spectrum rule enforcement and incumbent user protection, with a particular focus on protecting passive users of spectrum. The envisioned center will carry out a wide range of activities that will have broader impacts on several fronts. First, the center's research agenda will advance the state-of-the-art in wireless technologies, and will enable fundamentally new technologies, methods, and policies that represent a significant step towards realizing a long-term, sustainable spectrum access framework. Through collaboration with the center's industry partners, such research activities will help the U.S. wireless industry maintain its leadership position. Second, the center's thrust on IP generation and involvement in the standards-setting landscape will aid the U.S. wireless industry's ongoing efforts to have greater influence on next generation wireless standards, especially those that directly dictate the equipment and devices that operate on standards-enabled networks. Third, the center's programs on education and workforce development will address the long-term workforce shortage problem in the U.S. by nurturing a diverse, globally competitive workforce that is well trained in spectrum-related technologies. Lastly, the center will significantly impact the interplay between spectrum stakeholders by acting as a key hub that enables substantive organizational collaborations and linkages between academia, industry, federal agencies, national labs, and other 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.

该奖项是针对Spectrum Innovation计划的计划赠款：国家无线频谱研究中心（SII-Center）。频谱研究的重点SII-Center超出了5G，物联网以及其他现有或即将到来的系统和技术，以绘制轨迹，以确保通过有效使用和共享无线电频谱的有效使用和共享，以确保美国在未来的无线技术，系统，系统和工程中的领导力。无线电频谱是商业无线通信，国家安全，科学研究以及许多其他重要领域的技术创新的关键推动力。为了意识到无线电频谱的重要性，白宫宣布了过去几年的多个总统备忘录。在最近的备忘录中，总统指示商务部制定长期的国家频谱战略，以准备部署下一代无线技术，并启用更有效的光谱利用。该项目包括针对国家SII中心的计划活动，该活动将成为与频谱相关的研究，教育与劳动力发展以及行业和政府参与的首要的Nextus。最终，该中心的总体目标与国家频谱战略的总体目标紧密相符：在激发创新和经济增长的同时，保持美国作为频谱技术领域的领导者的地位。该奖项是针对设想中心的计划活动，其三个主要研究优先事项与国家优先事项一致：（1）提高频谱效率和敏捷性； （2）实现近乎实时的频谱意识和自动化频谱决策； （3）执行和安全，被动使用保护以及射频排放的安全性。该团队将进行并促进与光谱灵活性和敏捷性相关的研究，这将使多个光谱频段以及新型的多功能波形使用。他们将进行并促进研究，以提供高水平的忠诚度和良好粒度，同时最大化自动化的能力。他们将进行并促进研究，从而在频谱规则执法和现有用户保护方面推进最先进的研究，并特别着眼于保护频谱的被动用户。设想的中心将进行各种活动，这些活动将对几个方面产生更大的影响。首先，该中心的研究议程将推进无线技术的最先进，并将实现从根本上新的技术，方法和政策，这是朝着实现长期可持续的可持续频谱访问框架迈出的重要一步。通过与中心的行业合作伙伴的合作，此类研究活动将有助于美国无线行业保持其领导地位。其次，该中心对IP生成的推力以及参与标准设定的景观将有助于美国无线行业对下一代无线标准产生更大影响的持续努力，尤其是那些直接决定基于标准网络的设备和设备的标准。第三，该中心在教育和劳动力发展方面的计划将通过培养在与Spectrum相关技术方面接受良好培训的多样性，全球竞争性的劳动力，以解决美国的长期劳动力短缺问题。最后，该中心将通过充当一个关键枢纽来重大影响频谱利益相关者之间的相互作用，该枢纽能够实现实质性的组织合作和学术界，行业，联邦机构，国家实验室和其他利益相关者之间的联系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力效果和广泛的评估来评估NSF的法定任务。
