This $190,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research into spectrum sharing techniques from January 2023 through December 2025.

The award supports development of a Zone Management System prototype to enable spectrum sharing across disparate wireless services, such as communications, scientific sensing, and radar systems, within an Innovation Zone established by the FCC around facilities in New York City. The grantee, Duke University, will conduct experiments using systems available at the Collaborative Open Wireless testbed and NOAA Cooperative Science Center to validate an automatic spectrum management approach incorporating standardized spectrum consumption models, measurement-assisted decision making, scalable sensing, and continuous risk analysis. Outcomes aim to significantly improve spectrum efficiency and availability through an adaptive framework that prioritizes monitoring of high-interference risks. Results seek to inform potential national approaches to dynamic spectrum allocation through shared use.
