This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award to Auburn University for $170,000 supports the development of a holistic wireless extended reality (XR) framework. The key products and services to be delivered include:
-
Novel millimeter-wave (mmWave) based sensing methods to detect full-body movements of multiple XR users, leveraging complex-valued channel state information and radio map data.
-
A collaborative reinforcement learning (RL) framework to enable distributed XR access points to jointly optimize XR sensing and data transmission, improving quality of experience for XR users.
-
An open-source software platform and hardware testbed to validate the wireless XR solutions.
This research aims to enable highly efficient and robust wireless-enabled XR networks and applications by eliminating wired connections and expanding user activity spaces, with potential impacts on training, gaming, and medical imaging applications. The award period runs from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028.
