This three-year, $562,500 National Science Foundation project grant supports research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SWIFT: CONTEXT-AWARE SPECTRUM COEXISTENCE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION IN SATELLITE BANDS (ASCENT)" under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), serving as the awardee, will conduct research in collaboration with George Mason University to develop context-aware spectrum coexistence techniques and implement them in satellite communication bands. The goal is to advance spectrum sharing capabilities and enable more efficient use of satellite spectrum. A sub-award of $562,500 to George Mason University supports its role in jointly conducting the research and developing the related technologies with Virginia Tech. The project's findings have the potential to enhance spectrum utilization and support continued innovation in satellite communications.
