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，而且是现代公共安全和人道主义任务的关键。无论是监测倒塌基础设施的视频馈送，即将到来的当地天气状况的卫星图像，还是协调干预措施的数千个语音链接，** 通信都可以提高对情况的了解，并可以挽救更多的生命。在许多紧急情况下，** 通信基础设施超负荷，或完全失灵。Ultra Electronics TCS和ÉTS** 在超过18年的时间里开发出了一流的无线技术，能够有效部署 ** 可靠的宽带基础设施。1999年，**Ultra Electronics推出了全球第一款软件定义无线电产品，成为市场领导者，并通过不断改进和 ** 研究保持领先地位。救灾工作需要这种系统，因为救灾工作本质上涉及在无法预测的情况下部署。自ETS与Ultra Electronics合作成立以来，Ultra的无线系统在数据速率和灵活性以及功能方面都有了 ** 百倍的发展。它们是高度适应性的，支持 ** 认知方案，MIMO，OFDMA，并且在其最新的化身中，能够用于 ** 地面，水上或机载宽带通信的Ad-Hoc HetNet。在讲座计划中，学生将参与前沿知识的创造，作为下一代无线系统的基础。该研究计划 ** 涉及4个战略目标：1）在大多数 ** 不可预测的情况下异构网络的稳定性和收敛性分析，2）频谱感知的无线信号分析，3）非常规场景的性能 ** 改进策略的开发，以及4）在恶劣条件下安全和链路可用性 ** 增强机制的开发。这个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。
