The POWDER-RDZ project investigates ways to share the electromagnetic (radio-frequency) spectrum between experimental or test systems and existing spectrum users, and between multiple experimental systems. This research team will deploy and evaluate a prototype automatic spectrum sharing management system for the POWDER testbed in Salt Lake City, Utah (part of the NSF’s “Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research” program). Spectrum access challenges currently create significant constraints on experimentation and testing at wireless testbeds. Automatic spectrum sharing for safe access to additional frequencies – beyond the frequencies reserved exclusively for testing – will relax these constraints and thus increase the nation’s capacity to conduct wireless research and development. Increasing this capacity will help accelerate growth and global leadership of the US communications industry, strengthen academic research into wireless systems, and benefit other spectrum-dependent sectors such as radar, public safety, and national defense. As a pathfinder for the National Radio Dynamic Zone concept, the project will help future federal/non-federal spectrum sharing arrangements assure that spectrum sharing does not negatively impact government users. The POWDER-RDZ team will design, develop, and prototype an end-to-end radio dynamic zone (RDZ) for advanced wireless communication. They will validate its functionality by performing spectrum sharing experiments and field studies on the resulting artifact. The project uses the existing POWDER mobile and wireless testbed as the physical infrastructure of the RDZ. POWDER’s existing radios and other equipment supports the spectrum sharing experiments and provides part of the RF sensing functionality needed by the RDZ. The project will design and develop a modular zone management system (ZMS) to manage, control and monitor all aspects of the RDZ. The project plans to conduct experiments on spectrum sharing with users outside of POWDER. Experiments potentially include RDZ shared access to federal, non-federal, and commercial spectrum, such as coarse- and fine-grained spectrum sharing with a commercial mobile operator and spectrum sharing with a weather radar.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.

POWDER-RDZ 项目研究在实验或测试系统与现有频谱用户之间以及在多个实验系统之间共享电磁（射频）频谱的方法。该研究团队将为 POWDER 部署和评估原型自动频谱共享管理系统。犹他州盐湖城的测试台（美国国家科学基金会“高级无线研究平台”计划的一部分）目前对无线测试台的实验和测试造成了重大限制，以安全地访问其他频谱。频率（超出专门用于测试的频率）将放宽这些限制，从而提高国家进行无线研究和开发的能力，增加这种能力将有助于加速美国通信行业的增长和全球领导地位，加强对无线系统的学术研究，并使雷达、公共安全和国防等其他依赖频谱的部门受益。作为国家无线电动态区概念的探路者，该项目将帮助未来的联邦/非联邦频谱共享安排确保频谱共享不会产生负面影响。政府用户。 POWDER-RDZ 团队将设计、开发用于先进无线通信的端到端无线电动态区 (RDZ) 并进行原型设计，他们将通过对最终的工件进行频谱共享实验和现场研究来验证其功能。现有的 POWDER 移动和无线测试台作为 RDZ 现有无线电和其他设备的物理基础设施，支持频谱共享实验并提供 RDZ 所需的部分射频传感功能。该项目将设计和开发模块化区域管理系统。 (ZMS) 来管理、控制和监控 RDZ 的各个方面，该项目计划与 POWDER 之外的用户进行频谱共享实验，实验可能包括 RDZ 共享联邦、非联邦和商业频谱，例如粗频谱。 - 以及与商业移动运营商的细粒度频谱共享以及与气象雷达的频谱共享。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影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
