1st Annual National Wireless Research Collaboration Symposium (NWRCS2013)

There has been extensive academic and industry research, especially over the last decade on

developing spectrum using concepts and architectures. These include research on dynamic spectrum

access, spectrum sharing, co-existence, spectrum databases, new protocols, wireless security

and others. However, deployable dynamic spectrum sharing technologies do not exist. The fundamental

issues of spectrum sharing trust and security remain. It is critical that the research that

has been done and proven in indoor environments is well understood, collaborated and transformed

into deployable technologies by industry and government, even as new research is being initiated.

This calls for open collaboration between the research communities along with integrated outdoor

test facilities for performing realistic research experimentation (augmenting smaller indoor

wireless testbeds across the nation), across various bands and applications. The proposed

annual research symposium is needed to create the national collaboration between the research

and other ecosystem stakeholders.
