The University of Arizona was awarded a three-year, $375,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to conduct collaborative research on coexistence and interference mitigation in mid-band radio frequency spectrum for wireless technologies. The research focuses on addressing coexistence challenges in the 3.7-3.98 GHz C-band, 3.55-3.7 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, and newly unlicensed 5.925-7.125 GHz 6 GHz bands. The research will characterize interference between 5G systems and radar altimeters in the C-band, develop coexistence protocols for the Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, and explore machine learning techniques for protocol classification to enable dynamic parameter adaptation in the 6 GHz bands. Outcomes will be shared with industry and the Federal Communications Commission to inform policymaking. The award will also support related educational activities and broadening participation of underrepresented groups in computing fields.
