The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to Arizona State University's Division (doing business as Orspa) to develop cutting-edge wireless communication networks. The key objectives of this 3-year project include:
Enabling scalable and reliable large-scale MIMO and high-frequency communication networks using distributed multi-modal sensing information.
Developing a novel mathematical framework to balance communication overhead of distributed sensing data with wireless communication benefits.
Designing efficient techniques for extracting, compressing, and merging data across distributed sensing networks.
Creating a scalable network architecture for distributed sensing-aided communications that optimizes interactions across network components.
Devising training and learning strategies for large-scale distributed sensing and communication networks within practical constraints.
Building a research platform to investigate distributed multi-modal sensing and communication networks using real-world datasets.
The project aims to advance wireless communication capabilities, with potential societal and technological benefits globally. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
