This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to coordinate a reference open-source system community for future-generation wireless networks. The $1,500,000 award to Northeastern University, with a project period from July 2025 to June 2027, combines different open-source tools to create a complete, user-friendly open-source reference architecture for 5G and future networks. The project integrates fragmented open-source efforts, uses test beds to continuously host and test the software, and includes a suite of tools to help open-source developers build and test robust wireless network code. Additionally, the project focuses on community building through outreach, documentation, and hands-on workshops to attract new developers and users. This effort supports the smooth application of advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning methods within next-generation networks, facilitating the transition of research innovations to real-world use.
