This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $260,000 to Northeastern University to develop methods that improve communication performance in shared, congested, and contested spectrum bands. The project aims to leverage the structure of interference rather than treating it as noise to enhance the reliability and throughput of communication systems. Key research focuses include leveraging characteristics of interference for improved forward error correction decoding, removing slowly varying interference from proximate signals, and enabling more efficient use of scarce spectrum resources. This work supports national priorities in areas such as health, prosperity, and welfare by enabling more services to reliably co-exist through advanced interference management techniques. The project will be conducted from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027.
