• Comprehensive research agenda which integrates key radio and spectrum innovations into system-level solutions
  • Research approach is interdisciplinary and cross-layer
  • Three distinct levels of research focus:
    • Innovations in radio fundamentals (new spectrum frontiers, emerging technology, measurements, theory)
    • Information architecture to enable visibility and efficient spectrum use (spectrum consumption models, protocols and algorithms)
    • System level solutions for licensed, unlicensed and shared bands, sharing with passive users, and creation of new markets for spectrum
  • Research on the above topics is informed by a top-down analysis of emerging mobile/wireless applications.
  • Research Methodology employs a seamless mix of theory, modeling, prototype development and real-world experimentation
    • COSMOS testbed/FCC innovation zone in NYC as the foundation
    • Advanced hardware design and experimental capabilities in SDR, mmWave, THz, ..
