Wayne State University will receive $383,567 from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for a two-year project grant titled "CAREER: Protocols for Low-Power Wide-Area Networks in White Spaces." The university will design and implement a low-power wide-area network architecture and complete protocol stack based on sensor networks over white spaces (SNOW) to support scalable integration, coexistence, mobility, and real-time communication capabilities. This includes proposing approaches for seamless integration of multiple SNOW networks, reinforcement learning for coexistence of independent networks, enabling mobility through cross-layer protocols handling Doppler effects and geospatial variation, and a real-time communication framework. The protocols will be evaluated through experiments in both an urban testbed and a smart agriculture field pilot.
