This Project Grant award, totaling $299,999, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to New York University (NYU). The project, titled "Collaborative Research: NETS: MEDIUM: Resilient Multi-User Mobile Sub-THz Networks Using Near-Field Wavefronts," aims to explore near-field propagation properties of wireless signals to enable blockage-resilient, high-speed, multi-user communications above 100 GHz. The research comprises four key thrusts: (1) modeling the fundamental limits of near-field wavefront shaping for agile and high-speed communications in scenarios with link blockage, (2) investigating the design and fabrication of a programmable array architecture that can generate and dynamically adapt near-field wavefronts, (3) designing and implementing efficient digital signal processing algorithms to support 10s of GHz of bandwidth, and (4) developing foundations for interference modeling and multi-user communications in both near- and far-field regions. This project is expected to run from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029.
