The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $230,000 Project Grant to the University of Miami to develop an untethered extended reality (XR) framework that utilizes millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology for joint XR user movement detection and data transmission. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year grant include:
-
Developing novel mmWave-based sensing methods to detect full-body movements of multiple XR users by exploiting channel state information and radio map data.
-
Designing a collaborative reinforcement learning framework to enable distributed XR access points to jointly optimize XR sensing and data transmission, improving the quality-of-experience for XR users.
-
Building an open-source software platform and hardware testbed to validate the wireless XR solutions.
This project aims to enable highly efficient and robust wireless-enabled XR networks and applications with enhanced accuracy, resilience, and user experience, while also integrating research insights into academic courses and hosting outreach activities to advance STEM participation.
