The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that envisages the integration and interaction of a plethora of physical objects in a large number of application domains. Wireless communications and in particular cellular wireless communication will play an important role to provide the connectivity required to enable the IoT vision. However, the current cellular technologies such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) are not sufficient to accommodate the expected wave of IoT-device deployments and their need for wireless services, which come in addition to the fast growing mobile broadband traffic. For this reason, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is working towards developing a new communication standard, also referred to as 5G New Radio (NR), which can serve as a platform to support the growing application space of the IoT. In this project, we collaborate with the Canadian wireless IoT leader Sierra Wireless Inc. to develop wireless communication solutions that help enable IoT use cases and contribute to the success of NR standardization. Our research program is closely aligned with challenges and pathways identified in 3GPP NR standardization activities, and focusses on supporting typical IoT scenarios, which are characterized by a large number of connections with small traffic volumes, low cost and energy consumption of wireless communication modules, and low latency of communication. The main thrust of the proposed research is the development of advanced transmission mechanisms for control signals, whose proper design is even more important for IoT than for more traditional mobile broadband communication. The project will train a postdoctoral fellow and two doctoral students in the latest communication technology and its advancement and adaptation to meet new and diverse performance requirements. The close collaboration with our industry partner will ensure that the research results from this project will immediately contribute to the development efforts in the 3GPP community.

物联网（IoT）是一种新兴的范例，其设想了大量应用领域中的过多物理对象的集成和交互。无线通信，特别是蜂窝无线通信将在提供实现物联网愿景所需的连接方面发挥重要作用。然而，诸如长期演进（LTE）之类的当前蜂窝技术不足以适应IoT设备部署的预期浪潮及其对无线服务的需求，除了快速增长的移动的宽带业务之外，无线服务也随之而来。出于这个原因，第三代合作伙伴计划（3GPP）正在努力开发一种新的通信标准，也称为5G新无线电（NR），它可以作为一个平台来支持物联网不断增长的应用空间。在这个项目中，我们与加拿大无线物联网领导者Sierra Wireless Inc.合作。开发无线通信解决方案，帮助实现物联网用例，并为NR标准化的成功做出贡献。我们的研究计划与3GPP NR标准化活动中确定的挑战和路径密切相关，重点支持典型的物联网场景，这些场景的特点是连接数量多、流量小、无线通信模块成本和能耗低、通信延迟低。拟议研究的主要目标是开发控制信号的先进传输机制，其适当的设计对物联网比传统的移动的宽带通信更重要。该项目将培训一名博士后研究员和两名博士生，学习最新的通信技术及其进步和适应，以满足新的和多样化的性能要求。与我们的行业合作伙伴的密切合作将确保该项目的研究成果将立即为3GPP社区的开发工作做出贡献。
