The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The grant supports research to develop learning-based approaches for interference mitigation in wireless communications systems, enabling individual radio devices to decode data packets in the presence of unknown interference. Key objectives include designing supervisory learning algorithms for sub-6 GHz systems, online-learning-based beamforming methods for millimeter-wave systems, and integrating the interference mitigation algorithms into a 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) testbed. The project aims to advance spectrum sharing and interference management for heterogeneous wireless networks, promoting transparent and concurrent spectrum utilization. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
