This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $380,000 to Northwestern University to investigate an innovative approach for managing the radio spectrum. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Analysis of a new regulatory model based on assigning rights to spectrum receivers rather than licensing transmitters, in order to increase total wireless capacity, enable diverse applications, and promote innovation. Development of watermarking techniques to enable rapid identification of operators responsible for interference, facilitating coordination, negotiation, and trading under the new spectrum regime. Exploration of fault-tolerant protocols and a distributed ledger system for peer-to-peer cooperation among spectrum users to automate rights registration, monitor usage, and facilitate spectrum trading. The goal is to create technical solutions and regulatory frameworks that can address growing demand and congestion in the limited radio spectrum, while promoting the common good and enabling a wide range of wireless applications and services.
