The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems is awarding a $200,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for a collaborative research project on "Resonant-Beam Based Optical-Wireless Communication."
The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year grant include: (1) developing novel channel models and signal processing techniques to address the nonlinearity and large delay spread of the resonant beam optical wireless communication channel; (2) designing innovative transceiver architectures and signaling waveforms, including leveraging artificial intelligence methods; and (3) building an experimental testbed to validate the performance of the proposed optical wireless communication system. The research aims to enable high-data-rate, low-latency wireless communication links with potential applications in emerging technologies like augmented/virtual reality and industrial IoT. The University of Minnesota will lead this interdisciplinary effort drawing on expertise in optical engineering, wireless communications, signal processing, and statistical learning.
