Wireless communications are not only a fundamental part of modern society, they are key to modern public safety and humanitarian missions. Whether it is a video feed monitoring a collapsing infrastructure, a satellite image for up-coming local weather conditions or thousands of voice links to coordinate interventions, communications improves situational awareness and permits to save more lives. In many emergency situations, the communication infrastructure is overloaded, or completely out of order. Ultra Electronics TCS and ÉTS have developed, over more than 18 years, a best in class wireless technology enabling the efficient deployment of a reliable broadband infrastructure. The first worldwide software defined radio as a product, introduced by Ultra Electronics in 1999, became the market leader, a leadership maintained by continuous improvements and research. Such systems are required in disaster response, which, by nature, involves deployment in unpredicted situations. Since the ÉTS-Ultra Electronics collaboration's inception, Ultra's wireless systems evolved by hundred-fold factors in data rate and flexibility, but also in terms of functionality. They are highly adaptable, cognitive schemes enabled, MIMO, OFDMA and, in their latest incarnation, capable of Ad-Hoc HetNets for terrestrial, overwater or airborne broadband communications. In the chair program, students are involved in the creation of leading edge knowledge as a foundation to next generation wireless systems. The research program addresses 4 strategic objectives: 1) Stability and convergence analysis of heterogeneous networks in mostly unpredictable situations, 2) Wireless signal analysis for spectrum awareness, 3) Development of performance improvement strategies for unconventional scenarios, and 4) Development of security and link availability enhancement mechanisms under harsh conditions. This new proposed research program capitalizes on the previous Chair program to maximize full reach of the results' potential.

无线通信不仅是现代社会的基本组成部分，也是现代公众 安全和人道主义任务。无论是监控倒塌的基础设施的视频， 图像显示即将到来的当地天气状况或数千个语音链接以协调干预措施， 通信提高了对情况的了解，并使人们能够挽救更多的生命。在许多紧急情况下， 通信基础设施过载或完全失灵。Ultra Electronics TCS和ÉTS 在超过18年的时间里，我们开发了一流的无线技术， 可靠的宽带基础设施。世界上第一个将无线电定义为产品的软件， Ultra Electronics于1999年成为市场领导者，通过不断改进和 research. 救灾工作需要这种系统，因为救灾工作的性质是在无法预测的情况下部署这种系统。 situations.自ETS与Ultra Electronics合作成立以来，Ultra的无线系统不断发展， 在数据速率和灵活性方面，以及在功能方面，都有百倍的优势。它们的适应性很强， 认知方案，MIMO，OFDMA，并在其最新的化身，能够Ad-Hoc HetNet， 陆地、水上或机载宽带通信。在椅子程序中，学生参与 创造前沿知识，作为下一代无线系统的基础。研究计划 解决了4个战略目标：1）异构网络的稳定性和收敛性分析，主要是 不可预测的情况，2）用于频谱感知的无线信号分析，3）性能开发 针对非常规场景的改进策略，以及4）安全性和链路可用性的开发 在苛刻条件下的增强机制。这项新提出的研究计划利用了 以前的主席计划，以最大限度地充分发挥成果的潜力。
