Cybersecure Communications
Security is vital to the rapidly expanding use of wireless technologies, with applications in NextG, software-defined radio, and spectrum sharing issues.
The broad span of CCI SWVA communications research covers security in wireless communications and networking, the vulnerabilities of communications systems and signals, information security in wireless IoT devices and systems, and more.
CCI SWVA communications research programs focus on:
- 5G and Beyond 5G technologies, with applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning to wireless systems.
- Coordinating the 5G testbed deployment and establishing best practices as well as research into wireless communication networks.
- Secure crowdsourcing of frequency occupancy data for spectrum sharing systems managed by a spectrum access system.
- Assessing feasibility and effectiveness of psychometrics-inspired statistical methods to test and evaluate 5G radio systems and network; designing a novel psychometric-inspired statistical and optimization framework for intelligent dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) systems testing for 5G+.
- Developing practical algorithms and solutions that address 5G latency problems in the field.
