The NSF recently awarded Rutgers WINLAB a planning grant, entitled STAIRWAI to COSMOS: Sensor-enabled Testbed for Advancing Innovative Research in Wireless+AI, whose goal is to enhance the existing COSMOS testbed with tools for using AI and supporting AI applications.
This is a 2-year planning process with the eventual goal of proposing a full center on Wireless+AI. We envision two main branches of work which this new testbed could catalyze:
AI for Wireless (AI4W): developing AI methods for managing wireless communications and networks.
Wireless for AI (W4AI): developing AI applications which are “wireless aware”.
