Wireless Cellular Connectivity for Large Scale Critical Applications

在持续不断的技术进步的推动下，工业互联网的愿景正在形成，其中设备、机器和工业机器人彼此互联并连接到云，允许远程控制工业流程和关键基础设施，以在最少的人工干预下智能地优化它们的行为。从最先进的小型试点项目转向全球工业互联网，需要无线系统具有始终如一的高可靠性、低延迟和海量连接。在这个项目中，我们将为无线网络开发新的通信理论原理和技术，以满足工业互联网时代关键工业和基础设施应用的需求。

Fostered by continuous technology advances, a vision of the Industrial Internet is emerging, in which equipment, machines, and industrial robots are interconnected to each other and to the cloud, allowing remote control of industrial processes and critical infrastructure, to intelligently optimise their behaviour with minimal human intervention. Moving from the state-of-the-art small pilot projects to a global Industrial Internet requires wireless systems with consistent high reliability, low latency and massive connectivity. In this project we will develop new communication-theoretic principles and technologies for wireless networks meeting the demands of critical industrial and infrastructure applications in the Industrial Internet era.
