The successful deployment of wireless cellular networks (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems) enables mobile users using smartphones or tablets to launch different applications including voice, Internet web browsing, video conferencing, video streaming, social networking, and other location-based services. The emerging fifth generation (5G) wireless systems and beyond aim to support other new services and applications with diverse service requirements. The Third Generation Partnership Project and the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance have defined a number of use cases. They include: (a) enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), which supports applications such as ultra-high-definition 3D video streaming, virtual/augmented reality; and (b) ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC), which support applications such as tactile Internet and those Internet of Things (IoT) applications that require a latency of 10 milliseconds or less as well as a reliability of more than 99.999%. In this project, our long-term objective is focused on developing a flexible, scalable, and robust heterogeneous wireless mobile network architecture framework, which supports efficient network slicing, mobile network virtualization, flexible air interface, and multi-radio access technologies. To achieve this long-term objective, we have identified the following short-term objectives that will make an immediate impact: (1) develop efficient network slicing techniques and flexible air interfaces to support different applications, including eMBB, URLLC and tactile Internet; (2) design practical millimeter wave based beamforming and scheduling algorithms to increase network capacity in a scalable manner and to support seamless handover to facilitate users' mobility; and (3) develop wireless coded caching techniques to increase the per-user throughput and improve the delay performance. The outcomes are expected to benefit our industrial partners by promoting technical methods and standard policies that lead to service improvement, cost reduction, and long-term competitiveness. The project will prepare a large number of highly qualified personnel to serve the needs of the fast-evolving field of 5G wireless systems in Canada.

无线蜂窝网络的成功部署（例如，长期演进（LTE）系统）使得使用智能电话或平板电脑的移动的用户能够启动不同的应用，包括语音、互联网网页浏览、视频会议、视频流、社交网络和其他基于位置的服务。新兴的第五代（5G）无线系统及以后的无线系统旨在支持具有不同服务要求的其他新服务和应用。第三代合作伙伴计划和下一代移动的网络联盟已经定义了多个用例。它们包括：（a）增强型移动的宽带（eMB B），支持超高清3D视频流、虚拟/增强现实等应用;以及（B）超可靠和低延迟通信（URLLC），支持触觉互联网等应用以及需要10毫秒或更少延迟以及99.999%以上可靠性的物联网（IoT）应用。在这个项目中，我们的长期目标是专注于开发一个灵活的，可扩展的，和健壮的异构无线移动的网络架构框架，支持高效的网络切片，移动的网络虚拟化，灵活的空中接口，和多无线接入技术。为达致这个长远目标，我们已确定以下短期目标，并会即时产生影响：（1）发展有效的网络切片技术及灵活的空中接口，以支援不同的应用，包括eMBB、URLLC及触觉互联网;（二）设计实用的基于毫米波的波束成形和调度算法，以可扩展的方式增加网络容量，并支持无缝切换到（3）发展无线编码缓存技术，以提高每用户吞吐量和改善延迟性能。预计这些成果将通过促进技术方法和标准政策，使我们的工业伙伴受益，从而改善服务，降低成本和长期竞争力。该项目将培养大量高素质的人才，以满足加拿大快速发展的5G无线系统领域的需求。
