Wireless communication networks have traditionally focused on the high-mobility communication paradigm in which the wireless users occasionally travel at relatively high speeds. However, lately, it has been observed that 80% of today's data is consumed indoors, e.g., at home, work or retail and recreational facilities. Other applications of indoor wireless communications may include video conferencing and data sharing among various users. Indoor communications comes with its own host of challenges and promises. These challenges are currently being considered by major players in the wireless arena, including our Ottawa-based industrial partner, Ericsson Canada. Our goal in this proposal is to elaborate on key indoor wireless communication challenges, to contribute towards resolving them and to explore the opportunities that they offer. The emerging fifth generation (5G) New Radio (NR) standard for wireless networks necessitates seamless transition between indoor and outdoor paradigms in spite of the fundamental differences that underlie their operation. The successful completion of the proposed research plan is expected to enhance the capability and coverage of indoor wireless networks to serve more wireless users with high data rate demands. From an academic perspective, the proposed topics will serve to train members of the research team to use analytical and simulation tools to draw insight into signalling and networking mechanisms, and to augment the body of knowledge available for efficient utilization of the frequency spectrum in the presence of the constraints and challenges imposed by the indoor communication environment. The members of the research team will thus acquire in-depth understanding of practical difficulties encountered in the telecommunications industry. From economical and industrial perspectives, the outcome of this plan is expected to empower Ericsson Canada with new methodologies and insights into powerful indoor communication techniques, leading it to make effective contributions to the ongoing activities of standardizing indoor communication for future wireless communication networks.********

无线通信网络传统上一直专注于高移动性通信范例，其中无线用户偶尔以相对较高的速度行进。然而，最近观察到，80%的今天的数据是在室内使用的，例如在家里、工作或零售和娱乐设施。室内无线通信的其他应用可以包括视频会议和各种用户之间的数据共享。室内通信也伴随着它自己的挑战和承诺。无线领域的主要参与者目前正在考虑这些挑战，包括我们位于渥太华的工业合作伙伴爱立信加拿大公司。我们在这份提案中的目标是详细阐述室内无线通信的关键挑战，为解决这些挑战做出贡献，并探索它们提供的机会。新兴的第五代(5G)无线网络新无线电(NR)标准需要在室内和室外模式之间无缝转换，尽管它们的操作存在根本差异。拟议研究计划的成功完成，可望提升室内无线网络的能力和覆盖范围，以服务更多有高数据速率需求的无线用户。从学术角度来看，拟议的专题将有助于培训研究小组成员使用分析和模拟工具深入了解信令和联网机制，并在存在室内通信环境造成的限制和挑战的情况下，增加可用于有效利用频谱的知识体系。因此，研究小组的成员将深入了解电讯业遇到的实际困难。从经济和工业的角度来看，这项计划的结果有望为爱立信加拿大公司提供强大的室内通信技术方面的新方法和见解，使其为正在进行的为未来无线通信网络实现室内通信标准化的活动做出有效贡献。*
