Over the past 20 years, wireless technologies have been revolutionized, with data rates increasing by several orders of magnitude. New wireless communication technologies, along with the emergence of computing capabilities at the network’s edge will make it possible to achieve giga-bits-per-second data rates and less than millisecond delays. This project develops network algorithms that leverage these emerging technologies to enable robust and resilient next generation of wireless networks, and novel applications, such as smart cities, connected vehicles, virtual reality, telemedicine, and advanced manufacturing. The goal of this project is to develop autonomous network control algorithms that will enable robust and resilient distributed computing wireless networks through a combination of physical layer technology, edge-cloud computing, and intelligent network control. In particular, the project team is developing an autonomous network control framework that can jointly address resiliency in the physical and application layers by dynamically adapting the next-generation wireless communication systems to the time-varying conditions of the environment and, at the same time, intelligently allocating the available communication and computation resources in order to meet the performance requirements of time-sensitive edge-cloud services. The network control framework makes resource allocation decisions dynamically and in an autonomous manner, without prior knowledge of traffic statistics and network conditions, making it resilient to changes in the network and environment. The project team is using the COSMOS testbed to prototype, experiment, and evaluate the network control framework and its application to edge cloud systems. The project includes impactful outreach and education activities which, among other things, engage middle and high school teachers and students from NYC and the neighboring Harlem community in wireless networking, thereby broadening participation in Computing and STEM.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.

在过去的20年中，无线技术发生了革新，数据速率增加了几个数量级。新的无线通信技术以及网络边缘的计算能力的出现将使达到每秒数据速率的Giga-bits且小于毫秒延迟成为可能。该项目开发了网络算法，这些算法利用这些新兴技术来实现强大而耐药的下一代无线网络，以及新颖的应用程序，例如智能城市，互联车辆，虚拟现实，远程医疗和高级制造。该项目的目的是开发自主网络控制算法，该算法将通过物理层技术，边缘云计算和智能网络控制的组合来实现鲁棒和弹性的分布式计算无线网络。特别是，项目团队正在开发一个自主网络控制框架，该框架可以通过动态地将下一代无线通信系统转化为环境的时间变化条件，同时智能地分配了可用的通信和计算资源，以满足时间敏感的Edge-Edge-Edge-cloud服务的绩效要求，可以通过动态地适应下一代无线通信系统来共同解决物理和应用程序层的弹性。网络控制框架以自主的方式动态和自主的方式进行资源分配决策，而无需事先了解流量统计和网络条件，从而使其适应网络和环境的变化。项目团队正在使用对原型，实验和评估网络控制框架及其在边缘云系统的应用进行测试的宇宙。该项目包括有影响力的外展和教育活动，除其他外，这些活动还吸引了来自纽约市的中学和高中教师以及来自无线网络的邻近哈林社区的学生，从而扩大了计算和STEM的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被视为诚实的支持。
