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

通信系统发展的进展及其普遍性要求不断更新和发展新的创新工具、技术和模型，以模拟和评估尖端设计。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，对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。对4G及以后的发展的不断增长的需求要求具有较小小区、智能天线、移动到移动的、中继辅助的对等通信、认知能力的通信系统。交通的多样性和整合的增加要求开发新的、创新的通信信道模型，并提供沿着分析技术的前沿手段和方法，允许分析它们对整个系统性能的影响。预计拟议的研究将在加拿大工业和科学高度重要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.
