Tara Javidi, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC San Diego, has received a $1M award from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Computer and Network System as part of NSF’s new Resilient & Intelligent NextG Systems (RINGS) program.
Javidi, who is a founding co-director of the Center for Machine-Intelligence, Computing and
Security (MICS) at UC San Diego, was awarded the grant to design a new
generation of wireless networks that are resilient to unforeseen disruptive
events, such as a weather event that can disable base station operations. The specific
aim of the project is to design intelligent and actively vigilant networks that
are in a constant state of preparedness, continually adapting their view of the
world by actively sensing the environment, learning from the past, and counterfactually
reasoning about the system’s future.
To bring intelligence and vigilance to these wireless
networks, Javidi’s team will work on providing a novel active resiliency
paradigm that senses both the internal system state and the external
environment to learn and reason about anomalies. The inclusion of sensing into
a future physical layer will be a cornerstone of realizing next generation
wireless networks such as 6G. Joint sensing and communication will enable high
performance allocation of limited resources and create the ability for the
network to reason about itself and its environment.

Awareness in Next-generation in Wireless Networks
