Grant Description

The objective of the Information Theory for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (ITMANET) program is 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, a central challenge problem has been devised: to close a longstanding open problem concerning the capacity limits of Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). The central program thesis is that a novel kind of information theory --- one powerful enough to address the challenge problem --- will have wide-ranging practical consequences in the long term. Specifically, it is believed that capacity understanding in relation to necessary trades has immediate application, and moreover that new architectures and protocols will emerge as a side-effect of developing the techniques needed for capacity understanding. Residual knowledge generated by researchers who fully engage in this challenge problem will serve the national interest in progress toward more ubiquitous, reliable, and trustworthy communication systems. Refer to the Proposer Information Pamphlet (PIP) for additional detail.
