CNS Core: Small: Building Resilience into Blockchains
Blockchains and cryptocurrencies have emerged as disruptive technologies with profound financial and societal impact. This state of affairs makes it imperative to gain better understanding of the dynamics and resilience of the underlying peer-to-peer networks on which blockchains operate. To this end, this project researches novel measurement methodologies, statistical modeling, and design approaches for distributed […]
Collaborative Research: SWIFT: Facilitating Spectrum Access by Noise Guessing
Wireless technologies play an essential role in enabling growth and prosperity in societies by supporting business, government, science and education, defense, and health sectors. The boom of connected Internet of Things (IoT) nodes and 5G wireless communications will lead to a many-fold increase in wireless data traffic. This data storm and connectivity-in-everything model will result […]
SII Planning: Escaping Gravity: The End of Gs
This award is a planning grant for the Spectrum Innovation Initiative: National Center for Wireless Spectrum Research (SII-Center). The focus of a spectrum research SII-Center goes beyond 5G, IoT, and other existing or forthcoming systems and technologies to chart out a trajectory to ensure United States leadership in future wireless technologies, systems, and applications in […]
Collaborative Research: CIF: Small: Toward a Science of Vehicular Epidemiology: Computing, Control, and Security
Vehicle-to-everything communication is a transformational emerging technology that is poised to enhance transportation safety and traffic management, thereby saving lives and yielding major economic gains by alleviating traffic congestion. This technology will enable vehicles to communicate with each other, as well as with traffic signals, road side units, bikes, wheelchairs, and pedestrians to augment situational […]
CNS Core: Small: Collaborative Research: The Interplay of Markets and Security in 5G Shared Spectrum Services
Efficient and secure use of shared spectrum is critical to support the demands from emerging 5G wireless applications that have potential benefits across society. This project is addressing these by considering intertwined economic and security issues in 5G wireless networks that use more flexible spectrum access paradigms, such as the recently finalized rules for the […]
NeTS: Small: Strategic Management of Advance Reservations in Cloud and Network Services
Part 1. Advance reservation (AR) services form a pillar of the economy. For instance, they are widely deployed in the industries of transportation, lodging, and health care. They are also increasingly being adopted for the management of resources in communication networks and in cloud computing. For users they offer assurance that resources will be available […]
CIF: NeTS: Medium: Collaborative Research: Unifying Data Synchronization
This project addresses the technical means of maintaining and sharing the huge amounts of diverse data that are being generated from the computing devices that increasingly envelop everyday lives, specifically by improving synchronization technology. The goal is to synthesize various approaches that have been developed, often in an ad hoc manner and in various fields, […]
TWC: Medium: Collaborative: Strengthening Wi-Fi Network Wide
Wi-Fi has emerged as the technology of choice for Internet access. Thus, virtually every smartphone or tablet is now equipped with a Wi-Fi card. Concurrently, and as a means to maximize spectral efficiency, Wi-Fi radios are becoming increasingly complex and sensitive to wireless channel conditions. The prevalence of Wi-Fi networks, along with their adaptive behaviors, […]
