Notice of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Program's Advanced Wireless Test Platform (AWTP) Team and the Federal Mobility Group (FMG) Virtual Joint 5G Workshop, 19032-19033 [2021-07471]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 19032 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 68 / Monday, April 12, 2021 / Notices REU Supplements are included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects. By offering this opportunity to undergraduate students the REU program seeks to expand student participation in all kinds of research— both disciplinary and interdisciplinary—encompassing efforts by individual investigators, groups, centers, national facilities, and others. It draws on the integration of research and education to attract a diverse pool of talented students into careers in science and engineering, including teaching and education research related to science and engineering, and to help ensure that these students receive the best education possible. The data collection intends to assess the impact of REU participation on career pathways and will be done through an online survey. The researchers will collect data from past participants including the students and the mentors with a separate survey customized for each group. The specific evaluation objectives are: 1. Identify the career trajectory of the REU participants since their participation in the REU program including degrees they received, institutions they attended, and their current status (e.g., employed, graduate students). 2. Document the structure of the REU experience that the respondents participated in. These may include the type of REU (e.g., Site, Supplement), location of REU, and timing of REU. 3. Describe the REU mentors’ perceptions of the REU program on the student participants and the mentors’ career development. 4. Examine the skills the participants gained and experiences they had during their REU participation. These may include technical skills, information on graduate school application process, and research training. 5. Analyze the relationships between REU participation and career pathways specifically focusing on whether these experiences are associated with the participants’ interest in and ultimate selection of research careers in computing. Ultimately, the findings from the analysis of this data collection will be used to improve the impact of CISE REU Program in order to better reach its goals of providing meaningful research opportunities to undergraduate students and, in doing so, attracting a broad range of students to computing/STEM careers. VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:37 Apr 09, 2021 Jkt 253001 Use of information: The information collected through this survey will be used to evaluate the NSF CISE REU Program. Expected Respondents: The survey will be sent to students and mentors who participated in the NSF CISE REU Program through an REU Site or a Supplement. Further, in order to obtain data from an appropriate comparison group, the researchers will also include participants of other REUs and similar activities. The CISE REU Program participant list will be obtained from NSF and comparison group participants will be culled from a list of individuals previously surveyed by the researchers. The estimated number of individuals who will be receiving this survey is 25,000. Based on an approximate response rate of 30%, there will be an estimated 7,500 respondents when the data collection is completed. Average time per respondent: The online survey is designed to be completed in 20 minutes or less. Frequency: Each respondent will be asked to complete this survey once during late summer/early fall 2021. Estimated burden on public: Based on 7,500 estimated responses and 20 minutes per respondent, the estimate for this data collection is 2,500 burden hours. Comments: Comments are invited on: 1. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the evaluation of the CISE REU Program. 2. The accuracy of the NSF’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information. 3. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. 4. Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Objectives

     Provide an overview of the process (``How to use the 
framework to build a test capability'') as well as the testing 
framework modules or elements in the 5G testing framework whitepaper, 
needed to conduct 5G testing for different use cases.
     Learn about federal 5G use cases and requirements from key 
stakeholders.
     Hear from the testbed vendor and research community about 
the requirements, resources, approaches of building or operating a 5G 
infrastructure testbed (with discussion of the capabilities and main 
modules in Radio Access Networks (RAN) and core), specifically for two 
innovative 5G use cases: Smart Warehouse and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle 
(UAV)/Drone.
     Learn more about the real-world methodologies of 
developing 5G testing cases with key performance indicators or testing 
metrics as well as of conducting 5G testing and experimentation with 
the 5G infrastructure testbed from the testbed vendors' and 
researchers' viewpoint. What are the challenges encountered?
     Collaborate with 5G testbed vendor and researcher 
community to understand how the 5G testbed framework whitepaper would 
add value. What aspects of the whitepaper do the testbed vendors and 
researchers find most useful in helping to build a 5G testbed, develop 
5G testing cases, and conduct 5G testing? What are the lessons learned 
or gaps when applying the 5G testbed framework to real-world 5G testing 
and experimentation?

Intended Outcome

    The intended outcomes of this workshop are to build awareness of 
the critical need for evolving 5G best-in-class test practices, and to 
connect 5G labs or testbeds with Federal agencies and 5G component 
vendors.
