Measurement, modelling and simulation of wireless channels with applications to modern communication

通信系统的发展及其无处不在的进步要求不断更新和开发新的创新工具、技术和模型，用于模拟和评价尖端设计。对远程操作设备的需求激增，特别是在通信、控制、健康和绿色电力行业，给理解通信系统的影响带来了新的挑战，并需要调查最先进的通信技术。4G及以后的发展需求不断增长，要求通信系统具有更小的小区、智能天线、移动到移动、中继辅助的点对点通信、认知能力。流量的多样性和集成度的提高要求开发新的、创新的通信渠道模型，并提供前沿的手段和方法以及分析技术，以便分析它们对整个系统性能的影响。预计拟议的研究将在对加拿大工业和科学具有高度重要性的领域产生重大影响。

Progress in the development of communication systems, and their omnipresence require consistent update and development of new innovative tools, techniques and models for the simulation and the evaluation of cutting-edge designs. A surge in the demand for remotely operated devices, especially in the communications, control, health and green power industries, brought new challenges in understanding of the effect of communication systems, and the need for the investigating of state of the art communication techniques. Growing demand for the development of 4G and beyond calls for communication systems with smaller cells, smart antennas, mobile-to-mobile, relay assisted peer-to-peer communications, cognitive capabilities. Increase in diversity and in integration of the traffic require that new, innovative models of communication channels be developed, and leading-edge means and ways provided along with analytical techniques, allowing to analyze their impact on the overall system's performance. It is expected that the proposed research will make significant impact in the areas of high importance to Canadian industry and science.
