Grant Description

The objective of the Information Theory for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (ITMANET) programis to generate and exploit superior theoretical insights concerning the design, deployment,and operation of a new generation of wireless mobile networks. To achieve this objective, acentral challenge problem has been devised: to close a longstanding open problemconcerning the capacity limits of Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). The centralprogram thesis is that a novel kind of information theory --- one powerful enough to addressthe challenge problem --- will have wide-ranging practical consequences in the long term.Specifically, it is believed that capacity understanding in relation to necessary trades hasimmediate application, and moreover that new architectures and protocols will emerge as aside-effect of developing the techniques needed for capacity understanding. Residualknowledge generated by researchers who fully engage in this challenge problem will servethe national interest in progress toward more ubiquitous, reliable, and trustworthycommunication systems. Refer to the Proposer Information Pamphlet (PIP) referenced insection IV.6 of this Announcement for additional detail.
