A new U.S.-Ireland research partnership, led by electrical engineering professors at Michigan State University, will work to improve wireless communications through location-specific “communications pockets” for more private, secure and efficient wireless communications. The project has the potential to improve next-generation wireless systems, like 5G and 6G.
Mauro Ettorre, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Jeffrey Nanzer, an MSU Research Foundation distinguished professor, will use a $600,000 NSF grant for faster and more targeted intelligent wireless communications.
Ettorre said the project, Multi-Bessel Antenna System for Angle-Range Spatial Multiplexing(opens in new window), represents a major shift in wireless system design for near-field communication.
