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. The objective of this project is to lay the foundations to establish the new Spectrum Innovation Initiative (SII) center NASCE: A National Spectrum CEnter for convergent research on transformative approaches to develop new spectrum science and technology. Today’s wireless spectrum is exceptionally crowded. It is expected that by 2025, over 75 billion devices will be absorbed into the Internet, generating a global network of “things'' of dimensions never seen before, all in need of unbounded wireless access. Beyond the clear commercial strategic needs, technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) are also critical for national security, shaping a technological revolution with far-reaching social, economic, and geostrategic consequences. Wireless systems will continue to change the way we live, work, manufacture goods, and protect our citizens. Furthermore, the role that wireless connectivity is playing as a unique vehicle to provide work and educational opportunities during the current COVID-19 pandemic—especially in rural areas—cannot be overstated. The overarching objective of this center is to foster the creation of next generation wireless systems capable of using the whole wireless spectrum, from a few Hertz (Hz) to Terahertz. The team will conduct advanced research in technology areas in support of the commercial sector, all segments of the wireless market, defense and intelligence agencies, in cooperation with leading industries in the field. All center activities are designed to prepare students and continuous learners for careers in spectrum-related fields via experiential learning, research, new workshops and shareable educational modules. The research promoted by this project is organized into three interdependent research thrusts: (i) Conquering the spectrum, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches for broadening existing available spectrum options; (ii) programming the spectrum, for developing the foundations of applying modern data-driven techniques and software-defined networking for blue-sky approaches to spectrum sharing and exploitation; (iii) protecting the spectrum, for new algorithms and systems for reliable exploitation of the available spectrum in civil and contested environments, and protecting incumbent users. Orthogonal and pervasive to these fundamental thrusts, center plans and operations will be informed by the following technological themes: (a) policing the spectrum, with the twofold aim of providing technology for enforcing regulatory policies, and providing key agencies with technological and policy advice to shape the wireless future of our nation; (b) an Artificial Intelligence approach to new data-driven techniques for inference and control of large amount of spectrum data, and (c) perform and enable large scale experimentation and emulation thanks to our privileged access to NSF PAWR platforms, Colosseum, the largest RF networked channel emulator in the world, and to a Terahertz wireless networking testbed.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.

该奖项是频谱创新计划的一项规划拨款：国家无线频谱研究中心（SII-中心）。SII-中心频谱研究的重点超出了 5G、物联网和其他现有或即将推出的系统和技术。通过有效使用和共享无线电频谱，确保美国在未来无线技术、系统和科学与工程应用方面的领导地位。该项目的目标是为建立新的频谱创新计划（SII）奠定基础。 ） 中心NASCE：致力于开发新频谱科学和技术的变革方法的国家频谱中心 预计到 2025 年，将有超过 750 亿台设备被纳入互联网，从而形成一个全球网络。前所未有的“物”，都需要无限制的无线接入 除了明确的商业战略需求之外，5G 和物联网 (IoT) 等技术对于国家安全也至关重要，从而塑造了国家安全。具有深远社会、经济和地缘战略影响的技术革命将继续改变我们的生活、工作、制造商品和保护我们公民的方式。此外，无线连接作为一种独特的工具所发挥的作用。在当前的 COVID-19 大流行期间，尤其是在农村地区，工作和教育机会怎么强调都不为过 该中心的首要目标是促进创建能够使用整个无线频谱（从几赫兹）的下一代无线系统。 Hz）到太赫兹。该团队将与该领域的领先行业合作，在技术领域开展高级研究，以支持商业部门、无线市场的各个领域、国防和情报机构。所有中心活动旨在为学生和持续学习者的职业生涯做好准备。通过体验式学习、研究、新研讨会和可共享的教育模块，该项目推动的研究分为三个相互依赖的研究重点：(i) 征服频谱，重点是拓宽现有可用频谱的跨学科方法。选项；(ii) 对频谱进行编程，为应用现代数据驱动技术和软件定义网络以实现频谱共享和利用的蓝天方法奠定基础；(iii) 保护频谱，为民用和有争议的可用频谱的可靠利用提供新的算法和系统；与这些基本目标正交且普遍存在的中心计划和运营将遵循以下技术主题：(a) 监管频谱，其双重目标是提供用于执行监管政策的技术，并提供关键技术。提供技术和政策建议的机构塑造我们国家的无线未来；(b) 采用人工智能方法来推理和控制大量频谱数据，以及 (c) 凭借我们对NSF PAWR 平台、Colosseum（世界上最大的射频网络通道仿真器）以及太赫兹无线网络测试台。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
