The ever-evolving wireless technologies and their ongoing convergence with massive Internet-of-Things (IoT) ecosystem constitute the critical foundation of our future connected society, which is expected to interconnect everyone and everything ubiquitously and further bring 1,000-fold increase in data traffic. With the pervasive proliferation of connected devices, dramatically growing data traffic, and wide deployment of diverse services, our future networked society will rely exclusively on the next generation wireless networks, i.e. 5th-generation (5G) and beyond, and the technical capabilities in the provisioning of massive capacity/connectivity, highly secure handling of distributed data, and diverse IoT services and applications of people, industry and society.The fundamental goal of the proposed NSERC Discovery grant program is to develop transformative wireless technologies for 5G and beyond networks in enabling massive IoT communications through exploration of ultra-dense, highly secure wireless communications and orchestrated operation of 5G heterogeneous networks (HetNets). To achieve this goal, new 3-Dimensional transmission schemes in frequency, time and space domains will be investigated first to achieve highly efficient and ultra-dense communications. This concept will then be expanded as multi-dimensional transmission through joint design of massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and multi-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques. In achieving highly secure 5G/IoT communications, novel security enhancement techniques will be achieved through the proposed collaborative, autonomous and intelligent strategies, which feature disruptive security provisioning capabilities including comprehensive link attributes analysis, accurate authentication, and autonomous confidentiality enhancement and opportunistic risk minimization. Furthermore, novel objective-driven, application-specific and situation-aware orchestration of 5G HetNets for IoT service provisioning will be studied. The new concept of Software-Defined Orchestration (SDO) of 5G HetNets will be explored to achieve the capability of situational-aware resource sharing and security management in supporting the dynamic IoT traffic and diverse service requirements.The proposed leading-edge program is excepted to bring profound benefits to Canada through the creation of highly innovative, efficient and secure wireless communications techniques for 5G and beyond. Research findings on situation-aware orchestration of 5G and IoT networks will provide a unified approach that effectively tackles the emerging needs of connected industry and society. Trainees involved in the program will develop solid theoretical and practical skills with high industry relevance, which will further maximize the economic impact of the Discovery program.

不断发展的无线技术及其与大规模物联网（IoT）生态系统的持续融合构成了我们未来互联社会的关键基础，预计将无处不在地连接每个人和一切，并进一步带来数据流量的1,000倍增长。随着连接设备的普及，数据流量的急剧增长以及各种服务的广泛部署，我们未来的网络社会将完全依赖于下一代无线网络，即第五代（5G）及以后，以及提供大容量/连接的技术能力，分布式数据的高度安全处理，以及人们的各种物联网服务和应用。拟议的NSERC发现资助计划的基本目标是通过探索超密集、高度安全的无线通信和5G异构网络（HetNet）的协调操作，为5G及更高网络开发变革性的无线技术，以实现大规模物联网通信。为了实现这一目标，将首先研究频率、时间和空间域中的新三维传输方案，以实现高效和超密集的通信。然后，通过大规模多输入多输出（MIMO）和多域非正交多址（NOMA）技术的联合设计，将这一概念扩展为多维传输。在实现高度安全的5G/物联网通信方面，将通过提出的协作、自主和智能策略来实现新的安全增强技术，这些策略具有破坏性的安全配置能力，包括全面的链路属性分析、准确的身份验证、自主的保密性增强和机会主义风险最小化。此外，将研究用于物联网服务提供的5G HetNet的新型目标驱动，特定于应用程序和情景感知编排。该项目将探索5G HetNets的软件定义部署（SDO）新概念，以实现情景感知资源共享和安全管理能力，支持动态物联网流量和多样化服务需求。该项目预计将通过为5G及以后创建高度创新、高效和安全的无线通信技术，为加拿大带来深远的利益。关于5G和物联网网络的情境感知编排的研究结果将提供一种统一的方法，有效地满足互联行业和社会的新兴需求。参与该计划的学员将发展坚实的理论和实践技能，具有高度的行业相关性，这将进一步最大限度地提高探索计划的经济影响。
