This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $400,000 in funding to Northeastern University to develop advanced algorithms and infrastructure for low-latency edge computing to support high-quality augmented/virtual/mixed reality (XR) applications on mobile devices. The key product deliverables include:
(1) Algorithms to optimize wireless base station association, beamforming, and content caching to minimize latency for XR workloads in 5G and beyond 5G networks.
(2) A distributed edge computing architecture with integrated routing, computation placement, and caching optimization to enable low-latency XR services.
(3) Simulation and experimental validation of the proposed algorithms and system through Northeastern's research testbeds.
The award period runs from May 2024 through April 2027 and does not include any sub-awards. This project aims to establish the theoretical foundations for seamless mobile XR applications enabled by next-generation wireless and edge computing technologies.
