This $800,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Rutgers, The State University in New Brunswick, NJ. The goal is to develop affordable, accurate, and near-real-time spectrum situational awareness and protection capabilities using backscatter radio fabric technology. Specifically, the project will:
Develop a framework for multidimensional spectrum situational awareness using a backscatter fabric to observe signal strength, frequencies, and direction-of-arrival of simultaneously operating wireless links.
Develop spectrum protection algorithms at the physical layer to cancel interference using non-coherent, data-driven, direction-of-arrival techniques.
Experimentally evaluate the proposed solutions on the COSMOS testbed, focusing on 5G terrestrial network and satellite coexistence in the 12.2-12.7 GHz band.
The project aims to enable affordable spectrum awareness and protection capabilities to address growing wireless data demands, contributing to the next era of dynamic spectrum sharing. The award runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
