5G/6G Wireless Communications

Erton “Tony” Boci found his way into electrical and computer engineering through a natural curiosity and a talent for math. His journey led him to study wireless communication systems, work on a national air traffic surveillance system, and teach cutting edge technology to the next generation of engineers. 

Over the past year, George Mason professor Moinul Hossain contributed to a research initiative aimed at ensuring the safety and integrity of 5G networks used by the United States military. 

Mason researcher Vijay Shah has joined a $2 million project to develop a system to secure 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture, a collaboration between Mason and Virginia Tech, Penn State University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Two College of Engineering and Computing faculty members, Kai Zeng and Vijay K. Shah, are part of a project awarded $1.7 million by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund.

The university is on a team, led by the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), comprising the newly approved North American Open Testing and Integration Center (OTIC) of the Washington, D.C. area. The OTIC is part of a national effort to strengthen the performance, security, and interoperability of wireless networks.

George Mason University College of Engineering and Computing researchers are using novel, real-time technology to keep essential, sensitive wireless communications from getting jammed.

Assistant Professor Vijay Shah from the Department of Cyber Security Engineering at George Mason University's College of Engineering and Computing, teamed up with colleagues in Arlington, Virginia, to build drones that monitor and improve the safety of firefighters in action.
