- This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides funding to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to develop an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) wireless testbed and training program. The project aims to train the next-generation wireless workforce by allowing trainees to access and operate advanced wireless communications equipment and instruments, including software-defined...
- This $2,159,268 Project Grant awarded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund Grant Program (CFDA 11.038) supports Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) in developing a new neural network-based methodology to optimize testing and performance evaluation for Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) systems. The key activities include: Analyzing the statistical relationships between...
- The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) awarded a $75,287,478 Project Grant under the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund Grant Program (CFDA 11.038) to DISH Wireless L.L.C. as the lead of a consortium to establish the Open RAN Center for Integration and Deployment (ORCID). The 5-year grant will fund the creation of a "living laboratory" to evaluate open radio access network (RAN) components from multiple vendors, enabling faster testing,...
- This $900,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research to establish the scientific and engineering foundations required to detect, neutralize, and prevent adversarial AI in Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) systems. The REPAIRT project, led by Northeastern University, couples the programmable wireless infrastructure of Saint Louis University and Northeastern University with...
- This $9,960,960 federal Project Grant award from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (CFDA 11.038 - Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund Grant Program) supports the development of SALSA (Spectrally Agile Large-Scale Arrays), a wideband, spectrally agile, and scalable radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and transceiver. The goal is to integrate the RFIC with antennas and a digital interface to create an open radio unit (O-RU) for the Open Radio Access...
PURPOSE: DEEPSIG INC. WILL CONDUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT TO DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE FIDELITY, SPEED, AND REPEATABILITY OF OPEN RAN AIR-INTERFACE PERFORMANCE TESTING BY EMPLOYING DATA AND AI TO MORE ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY MODEL THE PROPAGATION AND INTERFERENCE ENVIRONMENT USING REAL-WORLD MEASUREMENTS OF 4G AND 5G SIGNALS FROM STATIONARY AND MOBILE SENSORS. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED:- DEVELOP A DATASET OF OPEN RAN STANDARD INTERFACE DATA AND TEST CASES REFLECTING A RANGE OF DIFFERENT OPEN RAN SENSING SCENARIOS AND USE CASES AND DEVELOP CORE KPI'S AND PERFORMANCE METRICS WHICH REFLECT THE PERFORMANCE OF A SENSING COMPONENT ON EACH OF THESE TEST VECTORS;- DEVELOP T & E TOOLS FOR THE BROAD EVALUATION OF OPEN RAN COMPLIANT SENSING CAPABILITIES;- DEMONSTRATE INTEROPERABILITY SHOWING T & E FUNCTIONALITY ON MULTIPLE VENDORS, O-RUS;- ENGAGE WITH STANDARDS BODIES AND PARTNERS IN ORDER TO GAIN BROADER ADOPTION.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THIS PROJECT WILL CREATE A NEW SET OF STANDARD O-RAN INTERFACE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT TOOLS AND SCENARIOS THAT WILL TARGET THE EVALUATION OF INTEROPERABLE O-RAN COMPONENTS UNDER REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: OPEN RAN PRODUCT DEVELOPERS, CELLULAR MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS (MNOS), ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT PLAN TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.
