Research Interests

Prof. Berry’s research covers resource allocation problems that arise in networked systems ranging from communication networks to social networks. This work uses mathematical models to gain insights into such systems and draws on tools from stochastic modeling, optimization, economics and algorithms. Specific topics of current interest include developing distributed resource allocation techniques for wireless networks, dynamic spectrum sharing and wireless spectrum policy, understanding the role of incentives in network security and modeling learning and adoption in social networks.

At this year’s Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (IEEE DySPAN) event, research partners from SpectrumX, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Spectrum Innovation Center, were honored to receive both Best Paper Awards and a Best Paper Runner-Up Award.

This month, two NSF SpectrumX members have taken on new leadership roles: Randall Berry was named Director of the Research Planning Committee (RPC), and Cong Shen was named Deputy Director […]

U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) SpectrumX is pleased to announce that IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Innovation (DySPAN) 2025 has accepted multiple papers and tutorials authored by its expert center members.
In November 2023, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) put out a request for information on the Implementation Plan for the National Spectrum Strategy (NSS). Seventy-five spectrum stakeholders responded to the request, including NSF SpectrumX, the U.S. National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Spectrum Innovation Center.

NSF SpectrumX actively encourages and supports its members to contribute to regulatory and policy proceedings on radio spectrum issues. Center members submit policy comments and testify at congressional hearings to […]
