Project Grant N629092012056

This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop learning-based interference mitigation techniques for wireless devices in the absence of signal-level interference information. The research team at Michigan State University will design supervisory learning algorithms and online-learning-based beamforming methods to enable individual radio devices to decode data packets in the presence of unknown interference. The...

This $450,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) seeks to advance wireless communication technologies by incorporating a new type of reconfigurable antenna, known as a dynamic metasurface antenna (DMA), into multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. The key objectives are to develop methods to integrate DMAs into MIMO to create a "tri-hybrid MIMO...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) Division Project Grant award of $400,000 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) aims to develop learning-based interference mitigation techniques for wireless spectrum sharing. The research will focus on three key thrusts: 1) designing supervisory learning algorithms to enable individual radio devices to decode data packets in the presence of unknown interference, 2)...
